The anammox bacterium and other bacteria use this enzyme to convert toxic nitrite into nitrate. After years of research, the molecular structure of the enzyme responsible for a large part of the global nitrate and nitrogen production by bacteria has finally been uncovered.

The spray is based on the SporeVax technology developed at Sporegen by Royal Holloway University Professor Simon Cutting and takes the form of heat killed spores of a bacterium – Bacillus subtilis – that stimulate a part of the innate immune system known as mucosal immunity.

MIT engineers have designed a food sensor , made from an array of silk microneedles, that can pierce through the plastic packaging of foods to sample for bacterial contamination and spoilage. The strip did indeed work, showing a positive for the bacterium in about 16 hours and indicating spoilage a few hours after that.

When a virus infects bacteria (these viruses are called bacteriophages), parts of its genetic material can get incorporated into the genome of the bacterium as sequences called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR).
