10.12.2008 Tiny knights in shining armor – bacteria detoxify deadly seawater

Some marine bacteria produce hydrogen sulphide, which is toxic to animals. Scientists now discovered that bacteria also protect marine animals from this toxic gas. A bacterial bloom detoxified a vast expanse of hydrogen sulphide-containing water off the coast of Namibia, before it could unfold it...

31.03.2009 Advanced colour photography – a new method of spectral analysis gets to the bottom of single cells and biofilms

Investigations of the inner life of single cells usually require the destruction of these cells in order to extract and quantify their content. Until now this rendered repeated measurements and studies of temporal developments impossible. A recent development at the Max-Planck-Institute for Marin...
