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

A UC San Diego-led study linked early childhood exposure to the bacterial toxin colibactin with the rise in early-onset ...

They derived their theory from a simple yet interesting observation: The growth rate of bacteria and their sensitivity to signaling molecules seem to be related. "We discovered that the slower a ...

Cement manufacturing and repair could be significantly improved by using biocement-producing bacteria, but growing the microbes at construction sites remains a challenge. Now, researchers report a ...

"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 ...

Paris-based baCta has a proof of concept up and running that uses engineered bacteria (Escherichia coli) to yield natural rubber in vitro. The startup says its method, which relies upon a ...

Bacteria tend to grow in warm conditions and between 1985 and 2009, lakes and ponds warmed at a rate of roughly 0.6F (0.3C) per decade. That shift is increasing the risk of blooms in historically ...

Researchers have genetically engineered bacteria to grow animal- and plastic-free leather that dyes itself. Researchers at Imperial College London have genetically engineered bacteria to grow ...

Georgia Tech researchers are teaming up with NASA to study bacteria on the International Space Station to help define how scientists and healthcare professionals combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...

While most changes are bad, sometimes they can help the bacteria grow in the presence of an antibiotic. This “new and improved” population quickly takes over. Additional mutations enable ...

The bacteria on the right are resistant to most of the antibiotics ... When this is plotted (typically on a logarithmic scale) against time, it is known as a growth curve, 9 as depicted in Figure 3.
