Over centuries of cultivating Saccharomyces cerevisiae to make dough, bakers have put selective pressure on the species, causing it to diverge into two distinct groups, according to the authors.

Bioengineered bacteria sneak past solid tumor defenses to guide CAR T cells’ attacks.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.

George Church is at it again, this time using multiplex gene editing to create virus-proof cells, improve organ transplant success, and protect elephants.

Biofilms are home to millions of microbes, but disrupting their interactions could produce more effective antibiotics.

Dozens of researchers, including myself, worked for years to uncover that swine flu had leapt to humans from a pig in Mexico in 2009. We learned a lot about influenza evolution, pig farming, and outbreak risk along the way.

The lab animals had more natural microbiomes seeded by wild mice, unlike conventional models that are kept in sterile conditions.

A device dubbed the “mother machine” enables real-time observation of mutagenesis in single bacterial cells.
