In mirror bacteria, however, the molecules of life are – as you might’ve guessed from the name – mirrored. At least, theoretically; no one’s actually made any mirror lifeforms yet.

A team of engineers and planetary scientists at Western University's Institute for Earth and Space Exploration, in Canada, has found that it might be possible to produce food for space travelers by ...

Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories ...

Legumes are renowned for their distinctive biological characteristic of forming symbiotic associations with soil bacteria, mostly belonging to the Rhizobiace ...
