With 14% of all greenhouse gases coming from fossil fuel chemical synthesis, cell factories offer an alternative which could help the U.K. government meet the target of net zero by 2050.

This biomimetic robot, powered by bacteria in water, can collect water temperature, pollution levels, biological and craft ...

Their observations offer a glimpse into the conditions that make it possible for the same thing to happen in the microbial ... cell. Even if it did work, photosynthesis alone wouldn’t fuel ...

Nitrifiers—including AOA and ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB)—live by oxidizing ammonia as their cellular fuel, the researchers ... and identifies the mechanism for formation of the enigmatic ...

The inflammatory response in the lungs of patients with CF is self-perpetuating; neutrophil-derived mediators fuel the process and induce further recruitment of inflammatory cells.1 The vicious ...

In technical terms, this fungal battery isn’t a battery at all, but a device known as a microbial fuel cell (MFC). MFCs use the metabolism of living things — traditionally bacteria or algae — to ...

Whether for fundamental research or to provide reasoned solutions, there is a need to move away from empirical methodologies and learn about the mechanisms ... of single microbial cell techniques ...

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, UC Riverside, and Utsunomiya University in Japan have demonstrated the feasibility of using microbial cell factories to amplify the ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...
