However, these are not the only ways that bacteria can respond under stress. Bacteria can change the order of genes on their chromosome (the chromosome structure) and/or the three-dimensional ...

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

Bacteria, which are susceptible to infection by bacteriophages, often carry multiple genes encoding anti-phage defense ...

Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, which is held by a majority of researchers, has now been disputed by a team of ...

Caption During the replication of the bacterial chromosome, genes close to the replication start point (red) exist in multiple copies, while genes close to the endpoint do not (blue). At faster ...

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

A chemical radar allows bacteria to sense and eliminate predators. Investigating how microorganisms communicate deepens our ...
