Just a Few Usual Bacteria Account for Most of the Carbon Use in Soil

Bacterial “miners” shown in relief working to process soil nutrients, some more efficiently than others. Bradyrhizobium, one of the three top nutrient processors identified in the study, is shown here consolidating its control of carbon from a glucose addition, processing the nutrients with industrial efficiency (in the form of a bucket wheel excavator). Credit:...

Scientists Identify Antibodies that Might Safeguard Against Alphaviruses

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have determined two antibodies that protect animals from disease brought on by alphaviruses. The antibodies were effective for every alphavirus checked, suggesting they possibly can create the basis of treatments or serve as a guide for a universal vaccine.In the US, the alphavirus we...

MIT Researchers Devised a Means to Program Memories Into Microbial Cells by Revising Their DNA

MIT researchers have devised a way to program memories into bacterial cells by rewriting their DNA more efficiently. Credit: MIT News, iStockphotoOrganic engineers at MIT have created a brand-new way to edit bacterial genomes successfully and program memories right into microbial cells by revising their DNA. Using this technique, various spatial and temporal information...
