Genome Of Industrial Microorganism Reveals High Tolerance Of Toxic Chemicals
Not only is Clostridium tyrobutyricum able to produce butyric acid, it is also has a higher tolerance to toxic 1-butanol than other bacterial strains.
Researchers Find Dozens Of Genetic Regions Linked To Migraines
Researchers have discovered that vascular dysfunction, or poor blood vessel function, is a primary mechanism underlying migraine.
Scientists Develop Primate Model Of Zika Virus
The primate model for the Asian-lineage Zika virus could help researchers evaluate potential vaccines and therapies, especially those that are intended for use during pregnancy.
Yes, The ‘Pregnancy Waddle’ Exists, Say Researchers
The study used 3D motion capture to create biomechanical models of pregnant women and show why they walk differently.
Insect Camouflage Behavior Dates Back To The Cretaceous
Fossils of green lacewings and other insects dating back to the mid-Cretaceous show how they evolved to carry debris as camouflage.
The Genetic Dance Of Corals & Algae
In the very early stages of coral symbiosis—four hours, to be exact—algae induces significant changes in coral gene expression.
Omnivorous Turtles More Likely To Consume Marine Debris
Omnivorous green turtles seem to have a harder time than carnivorous loggerhead turtles at distinguishing artificial marine debris from food.
