A team of researchers has found a way to turn the bacteria living in the digestive tracts of animals into factories that can ...

The common commensal gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses phase separation of the transcription termination factor Rho to colonize and thrive in the mammalian gut, according to a new study ...

Scientists have identified two putative plant transcription factors that are essential links in the symbiosis of rhizobial bacteria and legumes, according to two reports in this week's Science. The ...

UT Southwestern researchers have uncovered new clues about how gut bacteria and the body's circadian clock work together to promote body fat accumulation. In a mouse study that may someday lead to new ...
