Newly discovered bacterial partnership implicated in dental cavities
Posted by ArielTechGeek 173 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
For the first time, researchers have found a bacterium that forms superstructures when it gets caught in sticky traps made by other bacteria, helping it erode enamel and form cavities. The finding could lead to new ways to keep our teeth clear of the invaders.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cavity, Dental, Biofilm, Microbes, Bacteria, University of Pennsylvania, Teeth
Stone Age bacterial genomes reconstructed to make long-lost molecules
Posted by ArielTechGeek 206 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists have reconstructed the genomes of microbes from the Stone Age, and used them to produce new molecules. The complex puzzle was pieced together from DNA fragments of bacteria on the teeth of ancient humans and Neanderthals.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Genome, DNA, Enzyme, Fossils, Harvard, Max Planck Institute
Carbon nanotubes boost efficiency in "nanobionic" bacterial solar cells
Posted by ArielTechGeek 437 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Engineers at EPFL have found a way to insert carbon nanotubes into photosynthetic bacteria, which greatly improves their electrical output. They even pass these nanotubes down to their offspring when they divide, through what the team calls “inherited nanobionics.”Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Solar Cell, Photovoltaic, EPFL, Carbon, Nanotubes
Triple-layer bacterial biobattery produces electricity for weeks
Posted by ArielTechGeek 524 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Diversifying our energy sources is a key part of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and one intriguing possibility is to tap into electricity-producing bacteria. Engineers at Binghamton University have now developed a biobattery that contains three layers of different bacteria species, which together take in sunlight and produce electricity.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Bacte
