A team led by Rice University bioscientist Caroline Ajo-Franklin identified how these bacteria expel electrons externally. The new study offers a glimpse into a previously hidden ...

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm ...

Researchers led by Professor Erik van Nimwegen at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have discovered a new mechanism in ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

The unusual molecular makeup of Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, may hold clues for understanding and treating the tick-borne disease.

Bacterial structural biology is a scientific discipline that concerns the structure of bacterial macromolecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids. Such studies are used to understand the ...

These simulations showed that bacteria could still survive and generate electricity by using the surrounding surface to “breathe.” Lab experiments confirmed it: the bacteria grew on conductive ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...
