bacteria – Go Beyond Discovery

Bacteria sensors report when they find chemical invaders

New research shows bacteria cells can be programmed to identify contaminants and report by releasing a detectable electrical current.

A known antioxidant common in the human diet helps cancer-causing bacterium survive. The discovery could lead to new drugs.

“By using a targeted delivery system, we can actually reduce the dose of the antibiotic and still effectively kill the pathogen.”

A new fat-free version of whipped cream is made with bacteria. Researchers say its an alternative that would be better for the environment.

Researchers have figured out how to control magnetic bacteria and get it to cross blood vessel walls to deliver anti-cancer drugs.
