Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms ...

bacteria have also evolved defenses against phage infections. One such defense are "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats," or CRISPR, now better known for its applications in ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and ...

Tiffany Taylor, professor of microbial ecology and evolution at the University of Bath in the U.K., recommends the books that shaped her career and her outlook on life.

The E. coli O157:H7 Bacteria. E. coli O157:H7’s ability to induce injury in humans is a result of its ability to produce numerous virulence factors, most notably Shiga-like toxins. [16] Shiga ...

The red-marked bacteria with the gene cluster switched off were no longer able to synthesize the detergent. The bacteria were then unable to attach to the surface of oil droplets (left) the way ...

The bacteria appear to move by adhesion to the surface, as they have no cilia or other external propellers, and higher forces generate higher friction. Cyanobacteria use sunlight as an energy source ...

Your Microwave Is Teeming With Bacteria, Study Suggests Researchers found thriving communities of microbes in microwave ovens used in home kitchens, shared spaces and laboratories ...

Cyanobacteria’s Ability To Move Offers Promising Applications in Biotechnology The principles of cyanobacteria movement have revealed that they may show promise in biotechnology.
