New research suggests that certain bacteria began using oxygen nearly one billion years earlier than previously thought. The ...

Ryan Hunter, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, recently created a device to study anaerobic bacteria alongside oxygenated cells, simulating microenvironments within the body.

Bacteria used oxygen far earlier than expected, reshaping views on early life, evolution, and photosynthesis origins.

A second autotrophic pathway (Arnon–Buchanan cycle) uses a reductive citric acid cycle and is found in anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria and archaea. A third autotrophic pathway (Wood ...

Some bacteria and fungi such as yeast complete their own version of anaerobic respiration called fermentation. This is the equation: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide Yeast undergoes ...

The paper, titled "Simultaneous aerobic and anaerobic respiration in hot spring chemolithotrophic bacteria," is published in the journal Nature Communications. Keller was working with bacterial ...

“What's unique about it is that they don't just focus on [NTM] which is usually what the spotlight’s on. They're actually looking at a range of bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic,” said Friedman.
