Maintaining a consistent, high-density E. coli culture under consistent growth conditions allows the system to perform ...

Speculation That Microbial Fermentation May Overcome Mammalian Processing Is Premature Benefits of microbial fermentation have stirred debate about it potentially overtaking mammalian processing. But ...

The capabilities of complex microbial communities are used for numerous biotechnological processes. This requires special compositions of the microbial communities. However, these are often unstable ...

Predicting the future is never easy, and hindsight often shows how wrong even skilled individuals can be at predicting just 50 years ahead. Thomas J. Watson, then chairman of IBM, made his famous ...

Currently over 95 % of pharmaceutical products and transport fuels are derived from petroleum. Sustainable alternatives are critical to achieving net-zero emissions without detriment to quality of ...

Antibiotics that escape into the environment are widely recognized as a growing threat to ecosystems, wastewater treatment ...

Making sense of the complex metabolic activity of microbial communities is no mean feat. Understanding the stoichiometry and reaction kinetics of this activity typically requires precise ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a central molecule in the global cycling of nitrogen, and also toxic. Little is known about if and how microbes can use NO as a substrate for growth. Scientists have now managed ...

On water, on land, and in the air – microorganisms are almost everywhere and are essential for all biogeochemical cycles on the planet. They are masters of degradation and transformation in water, ...
