A genomic study of hydrogen-producing bacteria has revealed entirely new gene clusters capable of producing large volumes of ...

BEACHWOOD -- Beachwood officials have tried nearly everything to reopen the borough beach to swimming.

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...
