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 ...

If you go outside and start digging, you will quickly find that the world under the surface is filled with life. Worms, grubs ...

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.

Italy's Phlegraean Fields is a hotspot of volcanic activity—an ever-shifting landscape pocketed with acidic hot springs. This ...

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.

Enduro officials say they are already working with global biotechnology companies to transform production and enable bioproduction at scale.
