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 ...
When many disease-causing bacteria encounter penicillin, they are not always destroyed right away, shifting into a temporary survival state called antibiotic tolerance. This state allows them to ...

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 ...
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.
To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...
Direct farm-to-consumer sales of raw milk in Michigan are currently illegal. A bill in the state House would end that ...
In the depths of Scarisoara cave in Romania sits one of the world’s biggest underground glaciers, a monumental slab of ice the size of roughly 40 Olympic swimming pools that began to form around ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Whether it’s the ocean’s deepest hydrothermal vents or tall ...
Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...
A research team at the University of Würzburg has, for the first time, uncovered how E. coli bacteria sneak into the prostate. The study opens the door to potential new treatments for bacterial ...
