Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...
Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels ...
Using high magnification imaging, a team of researchers has identified several never before seen structures in bacteria that represent molecular machinery. Using high magnification imaging, a team of ...
July 25 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered unusual structures in rare bacteria that resemble the cellular components that power photosynthesis. The discovery, described this week in the journal Trends ...
When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...
The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...
DURHAM, N.C. -- Bacterial cells have an added layer of protection, called the cell wall, that animal cells don't. Assembling this tough armor entails multiple steps, some of which are targeted by ...
AMES, Iowa – Two new discoveries from Edward Yu’s Iowa State University laboratory are adding to the scientific understanding of how bacteria resist antibiotics. Yu and his research group have just ...
In the brutal world of deep caves, bacteria live in a miniature world of terror. The weapons they have evolved can defeat antibiotics – but now they are inspiring powerful new drugs.
