Scientists have translated nanoscale experimental and computational data into precise 3D representations of bacteria, yeast ...

found seven types of dangerous bacteria, including faecal matter. The study commissioned by National Scrap Car, paints a "grotty picture" of the bacterial contamination at forecourts nationwide.

Now, a University at Buffalo-led 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 ...

For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane. If a pharmaceutical agent targets cell wall construction, only bacterial cells are affected.

In this third-generation delivery strain, Raman figured out a way to control when the bacteria, after it has been intravenously injected, invades the cancer cells and delivers the therapy.
