Acetogenic bacteria, known for turning carbon dioxide and hydrogen into acetate, have a unique way of gobbling up hydrogen. Scientists studied three types of these bacteria to see how fast they can consume hydrogen at different levels. Surprisingly, all three types followed a simple rule: the more h
Scientists are exploring new ways to keep our food fresh. One interesting discovery is using proteins from quinoa that can fight off bacteria. These proteins, called antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), were created by mixing different bacteria together. Out of all these AMPs, one called F1 was the supers
Managing HIV can be tough. It's about taking meds, tracking health, dealing with symptoms, and staying emotionally strong. Past studies mainly looked at these factors once, but this nine-year study in Hunan, China, focused on how they change over time. They followed 265 people with HIV, checking in
Imagine you need to pull a wisdom tooth, but it's trapped under the jawbone and near a nerve. You could take an X-ray to see where it is, or you could get a more detailed 3D image from a CT scan. Which one is better? Scientists decided to compare these two methods using clever computer programs. The
Did you know that sea cucumbers can benefit from a bit of help from bacteria? Scientists discovered that dipping them in a unique bacteria solution helps them grow faster and stay healthier. The magic lies in a specific type of bacteria called Lactobacillus plantarum CLY-05. Researchers tested out d
Scientists have been puzzled about how bacteria come to prefer certain temperatures for growth. To shed light on this, they studied 64 bacteria from the Thermotogota phylum. They found that the last common ancestor of these bacteria was a thermophile, which means it loved high temperatures. However,
"Squid Game" is back with a new season that stretches its twisted world beyond the games. This time, the focus is on Seong Gi-hun, the sole survivor of the first season, as he tries to take down the sinister organization behind the deadly competitions. He teams up with a detective who shares his obs
Ever wondered how potassium affects rice? Researchers recently explored this question by testing different amounts of potassium fertilizer on two kinds of rice, Xiadao No. 1 and Shenliangyou 5814, across two years. They used five different rates: 0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg of potassium oxide per he
Ever thought about how eating and sleeping habits could shape a child's speech development? A study delved into this, focusing on kids with language difficulties (LDs). Parents filled out surveys about their kids' sleep patterns, food intake, and behavior. Researchers crunched the numbers to find in
A dangerous inmate who fled a Mississippi prison on Christmas Eve has been recaptured. Authorities had issued stern warnings to the public after 33-year-old Drew Johnson escaped from South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville.
