They're also incredibly old Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are not like big animals that leave ...

Inspired by sea sponges, researchers created living micro-lenses from bacteria that may improve medical and industrial ...

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 other ...

This opinion, which is held by a majority of researchers, has now been disputed by a team of bioinformaticians led by ...

What Is Quorum Sensing? Individual bacteria use quorum sensing to detect and respond to changes in cell density as a coordinated group. For example, the first reported evidence of quorum sensing was ...

In other words, a bacterial cell reproduces by simply replicating its chromosome and dividing into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

These reversible DNA inversions flip the orientation of key gene ... a molecule coating the bacteria that beneficially induces regulatory T cells—a specialized immune cell type that suppresses ...
