In addition to their roles as disease vectors, bacteria and other microbes play an important part in modern science as essential tools for advancing biological research and synthetic biology. Methods ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Dejun from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made significant strides in using synthetic microbial communities (SynCom) to ...

Similar to the “law of diminishing returns in economics,” biology inevitably experiences a leveling off of microbial growth at some point, even as available nutrients rise. A new study reformulates an ...

University of Warwick scientists has found that firmer, lower water content hydrogels limit bacterial growth, with implications for designing antibacterial coatings, infection models, and advanced ...
