Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The ...

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

Species of bacteria in the gut microbiome are evolving differently in industrialized and non-industrialized parts of the world, researchers have found. One adaptation that has become prominent in ...

Ultra-processed diets are driving gut bacteria to evolve rapidly at a genetic level. Microbes now switch on DNA fragments to ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers at Iowa State University have identified a genetic process by which some Escherichia coli bacteria adapt to the human kidney, a step that could lead to new treatments to stop ...

University of Maryland researchers have discovered how pathogenic bacteria survive in animals and humans, a finding that could produce new ways to fight infections, according to a study in the ...

Efficient utilisation of abundant renewable sugars and aromatic chemicals by natural or recombinant microorganisms is a key prerequisite for the economic viability of biotechnological valorisation of ...

New experimental studies by numerous research groups, including the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) in ...

A new approach to the investigation of bacterial adaptations could help improve the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. An international research team from the Wellcome Sanger Institute ...

Freshwater bacteria with small genomes frequently undergo prolonged periods of adaptive stagnation. Based on genomic analyses of samples from European lakes, researchers uncovered specific ...
