Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in males * Oral cavity bacteria are responsible for the progression of colon cancer * Adopting a healthy diet and habits may help lower your colorectal ...

Bacteria are the most diverse organisms on Earth, with a number of species that’s difficult to quantify. They’re also incredibly old. Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones ...

A single loading platform for plant growth-promoting bacteria and other active ingredients has been developed. A team of researchers from North Carolina State University (NC, USA) has developed a ...

The researchers suggest that eating more fiber in our diet will support the growth of good bacteria - and crowd out the bad ones to significantly reduce the risk of illness. In contrast ...

A new study from the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) has shed light on how three-dimensional (3D) environments influence bacterial growth and survival. By creating 3D models that ...

Other bacteria can exist in a pre-resistant state. To survive, slow bacterial growth allows mutations to arise that help the bugs tolerate the drug, or shifting phenotypes help them persist in its ...

Because CRISPR news tends to focus on the applications of genome editing—such as treating genetic diseases or improving food—it may be easy to forget that the system is, at its core, used by ...

“In addition, it is important to wipe down the interior surfaces with a damp cloth after each use to remove any residue and to clean up spills immediately to prevent the growth of bacteria.” ...

These models were all based on correlation: Scientists noted that growth limits in certain parts of the bacterial cells' cycle seemed to be synchronous with cell division. But, as any first-year ...

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the ...

Anupam Sengupta and his team explained this by zooming into the growth ... a synchronous active hydrodynamic cascade that ultimately drives enhanced local transport around the confluent bacterial ...
