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 ...

They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have found that exposed wood can resist microbial growth after a brief wetting. The findings of their study bolster the case for using mass timber in hospital ...

Industrial wasteland soils with aged PAH and heavy metal contaminations are environments where pollutant toxicity has been maintained for decades. Although the communities may be well adapted to the ...

The scalp hosts a diverse microbial community, and its unique environment is shaped by sebum, moisture, and acidic pH. These microbes, including bacteria and fungi, can influence scalp conditions ...
