Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.

Most major biological molecules, including all proteins, DNA and RNA, point in one direction or another. In other words, they ...

A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...

The search for alien life could be boosted by a simple new test, say scientists. They believe the movement of microbes may ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Archaea form one of the three domains of life; the others are bacteria and eukaryotes. MatE-Tlp system regulates substrate uptake and methane metabolism in Methermicoccus shengliensis, providing ...

Methanol is metabolized into the natural gas methane by many microbes living under Earth’s surface, but its source has been unclear. It emerges that some bacteria convert formate molecules into ...

Researchers have long investigated what type of life exists beyond Earth and how we can find it. A new method focuses on looking for one of the most basic signs of living microbes – movement.
