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

Researchers aim to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which a single genotype gives rise to diverse castes in eusocial organisms.

As much as rainforests or deep-sea vents, the human gut holds rich stores of microbial chemicals that should be mined for their pharmacological potential.

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

From therapeutics to gene transfer, bacteriophages offer a sustainable and powerful method of controlling microbes.

A survey of trillions of base pairs of microbial DNA reveals a considerable degree of stop codon reassignment.
