It is a common gut bacteria that never normally sees the light of day, but now Chinese scientists have engineered E coli so that it can harness sunlight like a plant. Incorporating a custom ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — The researchers showed that when curcumin is intentionally given to bacteria as food and then activated by light, it can trigger deleterious reactions within these microbes ...

The mutants we discovered had CO 2 affinities outside the normal range for photosynthetic bacteria. Such affinities are more typical of plants or algae — organisms separated by billions of years ...

This Research Topic “Aquatic photosynthetic organisms under global change” focuses on the direct and indirect effects of climate change on the life of microalga, macroalga, and aquatic angiosperms.

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...
