Engineers and biologists at Dartmouth College have found that, just like word order affects meaning in a sentence, the ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

These reversible DNA inversions flip the orientation of key gene ... a molecule coating the bacteria that beneficially ...

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

John Glass, PhD is a synthetic biologist at the J. Craig Venter Institute. Glass was part of the team that created the first bacterial cell with a chemically synthesized genome. View Full Profile.

Studying bacterial interactions with actin is still throwing up new mysteries. These microbes all enjoy at least part of their lives shielded from the onslaught of white blood cells, antibodies, and ...

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 ...

automated cell counter that can identify and count individual bacterial cells in mere minutes. The sophisticated QUANTOM™ cell counting algorithm is the first of its kind, capable of detecting ...

Viruses that infect bacterial cells are called bacteriophages. Their main goal is to produce more bacteriophages by injecting their genome into a bacterial host cell, using the host cell machinery ...
