The European project PROMICON issued five policy recommendations to support a new method for the production of sustainable ...

A dangerous bacteria is being used by researchers to help create a range of bioproducts with no carbon footprint.

Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the ...

Recent research has increasingly focused on the use of photosynthetic bacteria, particularly purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) and purple non-sulphur bacteria (PNSB), as a sustainable and ...

At the heart of its solution lies very special microbes — photosynthetic, gram-negative, purple bacteria, such as Rhodovulum sulfidophilum — which have the ability to pull both carbon and ...

Researchers from our top-rated Biosciences department have made an exciting discovery that could revolutionise how scientists ...

Photosynthesis is the process that powers life on Earth by allowing plants and certain bacteria to harness sunlight and produce chemical energy. One crucial part of this process is the ...

The researchers aim to create a system for converting sunlight into laser beams by utilizing the natural light-harvesting structures found in bacteria. For this, a specific part of photosynthetic ...

Marine viruses may use their own photosynthesis genes to enhance their fitness by temporarily boosting the energy production of bacteria they infect, scientists report this week in Nature. The ...

Metals such as iron, manganese, and cobalt are crucial for many biological processes, helping proteins carry out vital functions in cells. However, scientists have long struggled to understand how ...
