Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods. Not all individuals in a population of ...

To do that, they developed a polymer coating that integrates with the bacterial cell membrane and chemically modified cell membranes with the catalytic polymers. “We took a common industrial ...

Then she dunked them in the ice water, sampled bacteria from each chilled tube and watched for colonies to grow from live cells. Despite growing at warm temperatures, the cells that experienced short, ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

Our cells may get a health benefit when they engulf bacteria-killing viruses. Understanding the role of these viruses, known as phages, in our bodies is important, as they are increasingly used in ...

Pulianmackal, learned how to cultivate this bacterial species in the lab and fluorescently label five cargos, allowing the researchers to follow their movement in live cells through cell growth and ...

For this purpose, FtsZ was fluorescently labeled alongside other proteins. Then the researchers analyzed the effects on individual living bacterial cells over time and also used super-resolution ...

Organelles, whose bacterial predecessors possessed their own genetic material, have significantly reduced their genome, meaning that they have become increasingly dependent on the host cell over time.

Many antibiotics target the cell wall of bacteria, while some immune proteins can form a membrane attack complex that punches holes in pathogens, for example. But a few years ago, researchers ...

SYNTHETIC cells made by combining components of Mycoplasma bacteria with a chemically synthesised genome can grow and divide into cells of uniform shape and size, just like most natural bacterial ...
