Cyanobacteria Pollution
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, pollute the waters of a lake on the outskirts of Paris. These bacteria are responsible for cyanotoxins that can be toxic to humans and animals, leading to the closure of the lake in Creteil, France, on April 4, 2025. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto) -

Ancient Roman baths clue to fighting dangerous bacteria

Antibiotic bacteria that fight dangerous bugs such as E.coli have been found in the natural waters of an ancient Roman bathing complex.
Scientists discovered the properties after taking samples from the waters which bubble up from natural hot springs in the UK town of Bath which got its name from them.
Sediments and bacterial growth were taken from locations where the waters can reach between 45C and 30C.
Around 300 distinctive types of bacteria were discovered of which 15 were active against human pathogens including E.coli.
The samples were then analysed using cutting edge sequencing technology and traditional culturing techniques were employed to isolate bacteria with antibiotic activity.
The research by the UK’s University of Plymouth comes at a time when the need for new sources of antibiotics is at unprecedented levels.
A spokesperson said resistance of bacteria to current medications is thought to be responsible for more than 1.25million deaths globally each year.
The scientists say more investigation is required before the microorganisms found in the Roman Baths can be applied in the fight against disease and infection globally.

A plastic embedded with bacteria that eats it when it’s no longer needed , has been developed by researchers.
To keep the micro bugs from eating it while it's in use, the bacteria is mixed in as inactive spores.
They only start digesting the plastic once it's released into the environment.
To get this to work, the researchers had to evolve a bacterial strain that could tolerate the manufacturing process.
They discovered the evolved bacteria made the plastic even stronger.
Plastics are formed of polymers, long chains of identical molecules linked together by chemical bonds.
While they can be broken down chemically, the process is often energy-intensive and doesn't leave useful chemicals behind.
One alternative is to get bacteria to do it as some have an enzyme that breaks the chemical bonds they can use as an energy source.
A number of plastic-eating bacterial strains have been discovered recently but they need to find the plastic in the environment.
The researchers from the Department of NanoEngineering, University of California San Diego, decided to put the bacteria in TPU plastic which is one of the most common found in everyday things.

A vegan leather that dyes itself and is grown from bacteria has been developed by scientists,
In recent years, scientists and companies have started using microbes to grow sustainable textiles or to make dyes for industry.
This is the first time bacteria have been engineered to produce a material and its own pigment simultaneously.
Synthetic chemical dyeing is one of the most environmentally toxic processes in fashion, and black dyes – especially those used in colouring leather – are particularly harmful according to the team at Imperial College London.
They used the new material to fashion shoe and wallet prototypes and said it represents a step forward in the quest for more sustainable fashion.
Their new process could theoretically be adapted for more vibrant colours and make more sustainable alternatives to textiles such as cotton and cashmere.
The researchers created the self-dyeing leather alternative by modifying the genes of a bacteria species that produces sheets of microbial cellulose – a strong, flexible and malleable material that is already commonly used in food, cosmetics and textiles.

A high tech robot designed to stop the bed bugs biting has hit the market.
The X1 promises to vacuum and disinfect mattresses to sweep away mites, bacteria , food crumbs, dead skin and pet hairs.
The cosy conditions in a bed are said to enable dust mites to grow a population to around 2 million in a single mattress.
The X1 has been created to ensure that none of the fabric surfaces become breeding grounds for bacteria, or collection zones for dust.
The bot is loaded with intelligent self-navigation technology that takes up the task of cleaning.
The X1 vibrates and vacuums simultaneously as it follows a set path across a mattress with a fail-safe system that prevents it from falling off the edges.
The makers claim it dislodges particles that then get sucked into the cylindrical dust chamber.
Meanwhile a UVC ultra violet lamp sanitises the surfaces, killing bacteria, bedbugs, and mites that may cause rashes/infections.
The appliance can also be used to clean rugs and mats, couches, pillows, baby play mats, or any fabric surfaces that could trap dust, dirt or particulate matter.

'It stinks': Windermere plagued by blue-green algae as 'toxic as cobra venom'
Campaigners accused of 'scaremongering' despite tests of algal bloom in lake exceeding WHO guidelines.
All summer Pete Kelly has been paddling around Windermere collecting water samples for the sort of bacteria that upset swimmers' stomachs - officially for a Dutch academic project, but also as the owner of Swim The Lakes, an adventure swimming company.
Pete was supposed to be leading 15 swimmers on the Millerground Mile, a guided swim from Windermere's western shore. But after multiple positive bacteria tests this summer, plus confirmed cases of poisonous blue-green algae at 10 different spots around the lake in the past month alone, he has switched the swim to nearby Rydal Water.
Green algae and water quality on Windermere Lake, Cumbria.

'It stinks': Windermere plagued by blue-green algae as 'toxic as cobra venom'
Campaigners accused of 'scaremongering' despite tests of algal bloom in lake exceeding WHO guidelines.
All summer Pete Kelly has been paddling around Windermere collecting water samples for the sort of bacteria that upset swimmers' stomachs - officially for a Dutch academic project, but also as the owner of Swim The Lakes, an adventure swimming company.
Pete was supposed to be leading 15 swimmers on the Millerground Mile, a guided swim from Windermere's western shore. But after multiple positive bacteria tests this summer, plus confirmed cases of poisonous blue-green algae at 10 different spots around the lake in the past month alone, he has switched the swim to nearby Rydal Water.
