NewsResearchers modify hydrogen-producing enzyme to protect it from oxygen destruction
Researchers have genetically modified a hydrogen-producing enzyme so that it is protected from oxygen, countering a key barrier to producing molecular hydrogen with enzymes from bacteria and algae.

NewsCRISPR self-destruct protein may yield new tests for many viruses
A recently discovered protein has been found to act as a kind of multipurpose self-destruct system for bacteria, capable of degrading single-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA and holding potential for the development of at-home diagnostic tests for a wide range of infectious diseases.

NewsNew mapping tool delivers first accurate tuberculosis genome
Researchers have developed a novel genome assembly tool that could spur the development of new treatments for tuberculosis and other bacterial infections.
-
NewsLasso peptide points the way to new antibiotics for untreatable infections
Princeton Engineering researchers have isolated a compound that kills bacteria that can cause incurable infections.
-
NewsInternational team tracks the global spread of antimicrobial resistance
An international research team has provided valuable new information about what drives the global spread of genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria.

NewsDiscovery of world’s oldest DNA breaks record by one million years
Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA dating back two million years has been found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland, opening a game-changing new chapter in the history of evolution.

NewsGenome studies uncover common ancestor for 600 scattered fungal species
About 600 seemingly disparate fungi that never found a good fit along the fungal family tree have been shown to have a common ancestor, according to a University of Alberta-led research team that used genome sequencing to give these peculiar lifeforms their own taxonomical grouping.

NewsViruses deploy CRISPR system to thwart bacterial defences
Researchers have shown that viruses engineered with a CRISPR-Cas system can thwart bacterial defenses and make selective changes to a targeted bacterium – even when other bacteria are in close proximity.
-
NewsMonkeypox mutations cause virus to spread rapidly and dodge vaccines
Researchers at the University of Missouri have identified the specific mutations in the monkeypox virus that contribute to its continued infectiousness.
