Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, ...

Researchers engineered bacteria to produce spectral pigments in response to environmental triggers. Using hyperspectral ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

The bacteria in the center of the letters were tightly packed, with yellow and blue cells evenly mixed to give the appearance of a green color. Towards the edges, individual cells had room to grow ...

Maybe its red color is a bit worrisome ... phenotype to its daughter cells, and they to theirs. Thus, a rapidly growing proportion of the replicating bacteria still present in your body will ...

MIT scientists have found a clever new way to make bacteria send out signals that can be seen from far away—up to 90 meters.
