He reviewed the results of studies conducted with Pall-AquasafeTM filters, which are specifically designed to prevent patient exposure to waterborne microbes. The filters provide an absolute barrier between the microorganism...

New lab technique identifies high levels of pathogens in therapy pool

...Diego State University, the new study assessed the microbe population in a warm hospital therapy pool through a ribosomal RNA analysis that involved cloning and sequencing genes. The team concluded that the microbes, many of them pathogenic, were enriched just inches above the pool's surface by as much as 60...

Scientists discover how plants disarm the toxic effects of excessive sunlight

...s. Donohue and his group studied a photosynthetic microbe and identified the cellular pathways it used to sense the presence of singlet oxygen and defend itself from this toxic substance. He notes that the response mechanism is likely highly conserved across species from microbes to plants and humans - and ...

Fleshing out the genome

...ns, in this case those which were expressed in the microbe when subjected to stress. The proteomic analyses were done by four teams led by Kolker, Carol S. Giometti, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL); John R. Yates III; The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI); and Richard D. Smith, W.R. Wiley Environmental Mol...

Highly adaptable genome in gut bacterium key to intestinal health

...s related to carbohydrate digestion than any other microbe we know of." Next, the researchers will use germ-free mice to investigate how B. theta interacts with other members of the gut ecosystem. By defining the factors that underlie the stability of the gut ecosystem, they may be able to develop ways to m...
