How dormant bacteria come back to life

Solving a riddle that has confounded biologists since bacterial spores—inert, sleeping bacteria— were first described more than 150 years ago, researchers at Harvard Medical School have discovered a new kind of cellular ...

Methanol biotransformation to efficiently produce fatty alcohols

Methanol is a potential feedstock for biomanufacturing since it's easily obtained in an environmentally friendly manner. But it is still challenging to construct a microbial cell factory for methanol-based bioproduction due ...

Exploring methods to detect microbial volatile organic compounds

Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) are the detection indicator of food microbiological contamination. During metabolic process, microorganisms in food produce about 2,000 kinds of volatile metabolites with different ...

How does an aging-associated enzyme access our genetic material?

New research provides insight into how an enzyme that helps regulate aging and other metabolic processes accesses our genetic material to modulate gene expression within the cell. A team led by Penn State researchers have ...

Ethylene transcriptionally regulates cold stress in grapevine leaves

Low temperature can affect the development of plants and the yield of crops. Ethylene (ETH) is known to positively regulate cold tolerance. However, the role of ETH in transcriptional regulation of grapevine leaves subjected ...
