In their most recent experiments with Geobacter, the sediment-loving microbe whose hairlike filaments help it to produce electric current from mud and wastewater, scientists supervised the evolution ...
Geobacter is a remarkable genus of bacteria. They were the first organisms found to be able to oxidize organic compounds and metals into carbon dioxide. In other words, these bacteria use metals to ...
Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...
Bacteria may seem like pretty simple lifeforms, but their ingenuity keeps surprising scientists. The latest example is a species called Geobacter sulfurreducens, which has now been found to survive ...
A microbe developed to clean up nuclear waste has just been improved. In earlier research, Gemma Reguera, a microbiologist identified that Geobacter bacteria's tiny conductive hair-like appendages, or ...
An artist’s rendition of Geobacter expressing electrically conductive nanowires. Microbiologists at UMass Amherst have discovered a new type of natural wire produced by bacteria that could greatly ...
A microbe so common it’s found everywhere from the muddy bottom of the Potomac River to soil hundreds of meters into the earth could one day be wiring the military’s nanotechnology and sensing toxic ...
EAST LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – A discovery by Michigan State University researchers could pave the way for bacteria to clean up sites contaminated with toxic metals. The team, led by Prof. Gemma Reguera ...
WASHINGTON, DC – Department of Energy-funded researchers have decoded and analyzed the genome of a bacterium with the potential to bioremediate radioactive metals and generate electricity. In an ...
Scientists decipher genome of bacterium that remediates uranium contamination, generates electricity
Rockville, MD – Shining new light on the molecular secrets behind a microbe's capability to generate electricity and to help clean up radioactive contamination, scientists at The Institute for Genomic ...
Tiny bug may be a big deal for renewable energy. Aug. 5, 2009 — -- The star of the show in Derek Lovley's lab at the University of Massachusetts is a hairy microbe that has been around since the ...
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
