Researchers refine a method to quantify protein production, show that the precision with which bacteria and eukaryotes tune their gene expression is remarkably similar.

New research finds a unique component of cell membranes in an archaea species conveys protection against acidic surroundings.

Connections between gut bacteria may be just as important as which bacteria you have in your microbiome.

"Archaea are a big area of research now... and they're really cool." New research uncovers how their membranes let them live in extreme environments.

“A diet or treatment of the microbiome may lead to increased diversity, but that does not mean it's better or healthier for you,” says the engineering professor.

Altered peptides from a South American wasp’s venom can kill bacteria but are nontoxic to human cells.

Study illuminates new mode of bacteria dispersal.

"After it rained, there were only two to four microbe species found in the lagoons. The extinction event was massive."

As the planet warms, a new study shows that the smaller the genome or cell, the better chance of survival.

A new way to destroy the microbe that causes tuberculosis may come from a seemingly unlikely source: dirt.
