A distinguishing feature of bacterial cells is the presence of a cell wall that forms a sheath over the cell membrane. Our cells do not have cell walls. Bacterial cell walls are primarily made of ...

Bacteria have developed many strategies to defend themselves from phages — the viruses that infect them. The Zorya defence system uses a previously undescribed antiviral strategy. An inner ...

coli bacteria produces an enzyme which breaks the contents of their cells down into nutrients after death. The dead bacteria are therefore offering a banquet of nutrients to the cells that were ...

A new study published in the Journal of Proteomics explores the antibacterial properties of cannabidiol (CBD), revealing its ...

coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. (Courtesy: Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte et al./Princeton University/Caltech) Bacterial cells in solutions of polymers such as mucus grow into ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics ... along with other physiological substrates from the cell. Now that the ...

The enzymes produced by the phage gradually weaken the bacterial cell wall and eventually the bacterial cells lyse, releasing on average 100-200 phage progeny into the surrounding environment. Due to ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

He listed the 56 miles of completed border wall and said 18 more miles will be ... 2,400 soldiers and identified more than 4,000 jail cells that could be used for migrant detention.

Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram below shows the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the ...

Because bacterial cells are tiny, their RNAs are crammed tightly inside and mingle with one another, making it hard to image and identify them. “It was a complete disaster. We couldn’t see anything,” ...
