LIVERMORE, California, Jan. 9 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news:
In a counterintuitive move, bacteria are known to produce self-destructive toxins. However, they also make antitoxins, and researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have identified these toxin-antitoxin systems as a possible passkey to hack into bacteria communities.
The study, recently published in Molecular Biolog . . .
