Antibiotic therapy failure is often caused by the presence of persister cells, which are
metabolically-dormant bacteria capable of surviving exposure to antimicrobials. Under …

Diversifying radiation of domain families within specific lineages of life indicates the
importance of their functionality for the organisms. The foundation for the diversifying …

The demonstration by Ivan Barnes et al. that the serpentinization of fresh Alpine-type
ultramafic rocks results in the exhalation of hot alkaline fluids is foundational to the …

Microbes including bacteria are required to respond to their often continuously changing
ecological niches in order to survive. While many signaling molecules are produced as …

In this research it was possible to analyze the capacity of Acinetobacter sp.(ADHR1) bacteria
to reduce chromium (VI). Bacteria isolated from residual effluents from automobile chrome …

Bacteria have acquired sophisticated mechanisms for assembling and disassembling
polysaccharides of different chemistry. α-d-Glucose homopolysaccharides, so-called α …

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical public health issue that requires a thorough
understanding of the factors that influence the selection and spread of antibiotic-resistant …

Biofilms can interact with minerals, by either dissolving the substrates on which they are
attached and/or inducing mineral precipitation within their extracellular matrix. Diverse …

Pathogenic microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae …

Treating chronic bacterial infections is challenging, primarily due to the formation of biofilms,
which render bacteria less susceptible and more recalcitrant to antimicrobials. Despite the …
