If scientists want to find out how fast a population of bacteria grows, they often measure how their cell count changes over ... how much information you can draw from microscopy images," stresses ...

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the ... oxygen concentration (top of the diagram) swim forward to the OATZ ...

But scientists don’t understand a fundamental process within bacteria cells: how they organize themselves before division. When cells divide the cell splits into two “daughter cells” with ...

Then she dunked them in the ice water, sampled bacteria from each chilled tube and watched for colonies to grow from live cells. Despite growing at warm temperatures, the cells that experienced short, ...

Organelles, whose bacterial predecessors possessed their own genetic material, have significantly reduced their genome, meaning that they have become increasingly dependent on the host cell over time.
