Researchers at the University of Liverpool have unlocked new possibilities for the future development of sustainable, clean bioenergy.

A virus can stop bacteria from sharing genes for antibiotic resistance among themselves, Texas A&M AgriLife researchers have discovered. The results hint at new ways to treat infections and describe a new feature of a highly diverse, largely unexplored part of the biosphere.

The study, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was led by Lanying Zeng, Ph.D., associate professor in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

“The United States generates the most plastic waste of any other country in the world, but rather than looking the problem in the eye, we have outsourced it to developing countries and become a top contributor to the ocean plastics crisis,” Nick Mallos, senior director of Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas program and a co-author of the study, said in a statement.
