Exploring Energy Conservation in Sulphate‐Dependent Anaerobic Methane‐Oxidising Consortia Through Metabolic Modelling This study presents a metabolic model to quantify energy conservation in sulphate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation. Results reveal that anaerobic methanotrophic archaea and sulphate-reducing bac....

Bacterial Diversity in Deep‐Sea Sediments of the North Atlantic Ocean and Their Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites In this study, we isolated culturable bacteria associated with oceanic sediments and studied their production of secondary metabolites using metabolomics and genetic screening. Bacteria were cultivat...

Dans cette vidéo, on va parler de la plus grande pandémie du vivant ! Un microbe répandu chez plus de 70% des insectes, et qui pourrait nous aider à prévenir la dengue et d'autres maladies. Ah oui et on fait des blagues de mauvais goût, parce que pourquoi pas.
