Bacterial spores can survive for years, even centuries, without nutrients, resisting heat, UV radiation, and antibiotics. How inert, sleeping bacteria -- or spores -- spring back to life has been a ...
The master chemists known as Streptomyces bacteria have turned a compound rich with the tangy odor of moist soil into a hitchhiking scam. This group of bacteria, the inspiration for streptomycin and ...
Water, plastic and bacterial spores might become the power source of the future. The spores soak up moisture and release vapor, and researchers at Columbia University have built a device to tap the ...
