Certain predatory bacteria are known to prey on cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. That means they could be used to combat ...

The mild winter brought an abundance of filamentous algae growth to Lake Okabena in. Dan Livdahl, Okabena-Ocheda Watershed District Administrator, suspects the algae growth is due to there being no ...

In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been investigated by a ...

In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been investigated by a research team led by Stefan Karpitschka, group leader at the MPI-DS and ...

And their microbiomes had changed dramatically, with the amount of segmented filamentous bacteria -- common in the gut microbiota of rodents, fish, and chickens -- falling sharply and other ...

Research scientist Bradley Lusk, first author of the study, was curious about what happens to protons in the microenvironments of these bacteria during biodegradation: “If you produce too many ...

The presence of segmented filamentous bacteria, a commensal microbe present in some mice, reprograms AM gene expression, increasing complement expression and phagocytosis, thereby enabling AM to ...

Some types form long filaments composed of a few to more than 1,000 individual cells. In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been ...

A new mouse study has found that certain segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), when naturally present or introduced into the intestinal microbiome, cause the lungs’ alveolar macrophages to ...

But the newfound bacteria, which is roughly the shape and the size of an eyelash, is a single bacterial cell. “Realizing that a filamentous bacteria of that size is actually just a single ...
