Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

MIT scientists have found a clever new way to make bacteria send out signals that can be seen from far away—up to 90 meters.

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...
