Researchers have long suspected that the gut microbiome—the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in the intestine—is closely linked to colorectal cancer. In a new study published in Cell Host & Microbe, an international group of researchers from the Mi-EOCRC cons

Oysters filter seawater for food. In the process, they concentrate a wide variety of microorganisms from their environment—including bacteria and viruses—into a tiny space.

Researchers at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers from The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) and Akita Prefectural University, have discovered a new insect pathogen that invades the gut symbiotic org

Many important medicines and agricultural compounds have origins in natural products made by microorganisms. One such compound is prodigiosin, a vivid red pigment produced by certain bacteria. Beyond its color, prodigiosin and related compounds known as prodiginines have attracte

Microorganisms are increasingly being engineered to manufacture valuable compounds ranging from medicines and food ingredients to biofuels and industrial chemicals. However, turning microbes into efficient production platforms requires extensive strain optimization. Finding the r
