Current technologies could identify the abundance and functions of specific microbes, and evaluate their individual effects on microbial ecology. However, these microbes interact with each other, as ...

No matter where the body is buried, the microbial network behind the cadaver’s decomposition remains essentially the same. Researchers from Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of ...

Pioneering research utilizes high-throughput single-cell sequencing to demystify the microbial universe within activated sludge, a cornerstone of wastewater treatment. This study has unearthed a ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 6. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health concern, threatening medical, veterinary, and agricultural systems.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Water, researchers investigated the viral distribution, host interactions, and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) transfer on microplastics using ...

Soil plays a much bigger role in the spread of antibiotic resistance than one might imagine. Surprisingly, the ground beneath us is packed with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) - tiny codes that ...

Researchers are linking human activity to increased gene transfer from soil bacteria to humans. Soil plays a much bigger role in the spread of antibiotic resistance than one might imagine.

New study suggests that temperature can influence the microbial competition in rivers. Antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs) from wastewater can end up in natural biofilms in rivers, but they may not ...

Distribution of antibiotic resistant bacteria in different soil types following manure application. In this image, CRB community composition in CTC-manure of fluvo-aquic soil was more complex than in ...
