Researchers at the University of East Anglia have discovered how nitrogen-fixing bacteria sense iron – an essential but deadly micronutrient. Some bacteria naturally fix nitrogen from the soil into a ...

In an era of increasing concern about the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant illness, Case Western Reserve researchers have identified a promising new pathway to disabling disease: blocking bacteria’s ...

When humans have low iron levels, they tend to feel weak, fatigued and dizzy. This fatigue prevents patients with iron-deficient anemia from exercising or exerting themselves in order to conserve ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria such as E. coli get the essential nutrient iron during infection. Scientists from Monash University in Australia found pathogenic bacteria obtain iron by ...

I made iron using bacteria and natural methods. Unconventional techniques allowed extraction of usable iron from natural ...

Bacteria may seem like pretty simple lifeforms, but their ingenuity keeps surprising scientists. The latest example is a species called Geobacter sulfurreducens, which has now been found to survive ...

Scientists have discovered that bacteria can create something like memories about when to form strategies that can cause dangerous infections in people, such as resistance to antibiotics and bacterial ...

Looking at a group of bacteria from soil, researchers discovered that these organisms overcome limitation in their carbon processing machinery by rerouting their metabolic pathways to favor producing ...
