Biofilms are an important, but incompletely understood, form of growth and survival for many bacteria. Recent evidence reveals that biofilms are structurally complex, dynamic systems that have ...

The ancient origins of metabolism may be rooted deep in oceanic crust, and these early metabolisms may have persisted in the habitable thermal anoxic aquifer where conditions remain similar to those ...

Although cases of inhalational anthrax may be controlled by antibiotics, the treatment regimen has to be followed continuously for 60 days to ensure any residual spores are eliminated. Thus ...

Anthrax is an acute, bacterial, and naturally occurring disease of herbivores that infects humans through contact. It is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which lives in the soil and ...

Scientists discovered a bacterium that degrades PFAS and their toxic byproducts, offering a potential solution for these persistent pollutants. Further research aims to enhance its efficiency for ...

Christians are helping the elderly face death with hope. When a 70-year-old man infected with anthrax bacteria asked church members to visit him, Xi Feng Zhao joined, even though for the past week ...

It’s been nearly nine full years since the release of Anthrax’s 11th studio album For All Kings. That was February of 2016 and that was such a different time that we were still laughing about the idea ...

Riad Sattouf’s saga of his parents’ failed bicultural marriage, with its harsh depiction of life in rural Syria, has become a literary sensation. By Richard Fausset Richard Fausset reported ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.

Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It primarily affects animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats but can also infect humans who come into contact ...
