Interventions involving bacteria or fungi could help to sequester greenhouse gases, create more sustainable products and clean up pollution — in ways that are economically viable and safe.

Our gut is constantly exposed to a wide variety of foods, and the gut microbiome helps the immune system learn what's harmful ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell organisms survive phage infection in a bid to further ...

Deciphering the gut biome's, including helminths', influence on human trained immunity will unlock novel immunotherapies harnessing the immune reprogramming potential of their secreted factors and ...
