Climate change and warming water systems may be driving a global rise in deadly brain-eating amoebae, a new study warns, ...

There’s a sinister health threat we’re not taking seriously enough, a new paper argues – and it’s not a virus, bacterium, nor ...

Researchers published a study confirming the discovery of a new process for producing active complex compounds in amoebae. In particular, studying the process of olivetolic acid production (a compound ...

Amoebae, single-celled organisms common in soil, water and grade-school science classrooms, may play a key role in the survival and spread of deadly plague bacteria. New research shows that plague ...

Tap water, which we consume daily, can sometimes harbor surprisingly resistant microbes. This is what a recent publication ...

Researchers have learned that the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis, called Mycobacterium bovis, is able to survive and grow in a type of single-celled organism called an amoeba, that lives in ...

Scientists are warning that a little-known group of microorganisms living in water systems around the world may pose a growing threat to public health, particularly as climate change and aging ...

The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a powerful social study system because of the hard work of generations of cell and molecular biologists who have figured out many of the mechanisms of its ...

In some respects, animals and amoebae are not that different. For instance, both are at risk of potentially deadly attacks by bacteria and have evolved ways to prevent them. Researchers at Baylor ...

An International team from China University of Geosciences, University of York and Lomonosov Moscow State University have studied the impact of wildfire on testate amoebae -- one of the dominant ...

The drama of predators vs. prey—hunting, stalking, fleeing—isn't limited to the animal kingdom. Underneath our feet, hungry amoebae in the soil pursue and eat bacteria in a microscopic wild kingdom.
