Researchers sniffed ancient Egyptian mummies, for science. Here’s what they smell like - The scientists were ‘surprised’ at ...

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

The work builds on more than two decades of scientific research in Yellowstone National Park by MSU professor Bill Inskeep.

MSU scientists studied microbes in Yellowstone hot springs to understand how life adapted to increasing oxygen levels.

Sometimes the connections we make between disparate things are less than obvious. For Debra Edgerton, the connection between ...

In the journal Nature Communications, Montana State University scientists in the College of Agriculture highlight fresh ...

New work offers insight into how early life adapted from a low-oxygen atmosphere to the one that exists today.

Our biological sciences students explore the complexities of life and work to address global challenges in biology. Our faculty advance knowledge in a wide range of disciplines within the biological ...

Researchers have discovered crucial new information about how microbes consume huge amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) and help reduce levels of this deadly gas.

Conservation biology is the study of attempts to protect and preserve biodiversity. It focuses on both the biological and social factors that affect the success of conservation efforts and on ...
