NewsSoil microorganisms could produce additional greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost
New research demonstrates that soil microbes embedded in the permafrost will go after a class of compounds previously thought to be untouchable under certain conditions: polyphenols.

NewsNew enzymatic cocktail can kill tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria
A new study shows that an enzymatic cocktail can kill a variety of mycobacterial species of bacteria, including those that cause tuberculosis.

NewsNew vaccine against a highly fatal tropical disease – and potential bioterror weapon – demonstrates efficacy in animal studies
In a mouse study, researchers tested a vaccine against the bacterium that causes melioidosis and found it was highly protective against the disease, which is endemic in many tropical areas.

NewsMetal-organic frameworks could someday deliver antibacterial nitric oxide
Because metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — highly porous metal complexes — are so structurally and chemically diverse, they could be used for many applications, such as drug delivery and environmental clean-up. But researchers still need to get a better understanding of how they function, especially when embedded in polymers. ...
