All multicellular creatures interact with bacteria, but some have taken the relationship to another level with highly specialized structures that house, feed, and exploit the tiny organisms. For the ...

"We've discovered that when many bacteria grow in fluids containing spaghetti-like molecules called polymers, such as mucus in the lungs, they form cable-like structures that intertwine like ...

Bacteria precisely adjust their membrane lipid composition by modifying the types of fatty acids that are produced by the biosynthetic pathway and altering the structures of pre-existing ...

But when studying BeeR, the researchers discovered one striking difference to other actin-like bacterial proteins – its structure. Dr. Julien Bergeron, Senior Lecturer in the Randall Centre for Cell & ...

Biofilms are protective three-dimensional structures created by bacteria from its own waste. Much like an armored and insulated house, the oozy goo allows bacteria to safely live, thrive and ...
