Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

After her initial test run, she cultured a regular sample, as well as the shocked sample so she could compare them side by ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental ...

Researchers isolated a phage of the Microviridae family from human feces, representing the smallest phage infecting the gut ...

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...

Researchers reveal that salivary bacteria from gum disease alter gut metabolism, driving osteoclast activity and ...
