Dead bacteria release an enzyme that breaks down their contents into nutrients for other bacteria, highlighting a novel ...

The study, titled "A family of bacterial Josephin-like deubiquitinases with an irreversible cleavage mode," conducted by the Cologne research team led by Professor Kay Hofmann, has been published in ...

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

Scientists have discovered that the enzyme BbLDH is crucial for the survival and infectivity of the Lyme disease bacterium ...

However, different β-galactosidases target specific galactosides. These enzymes are found in the intestines of mammals, such as in the human gut bacteria Bifidobacterium, which helps digest complex ...

A self-powered, three-component biosensor capable of killing bacteria in water samples has been developed by materials ...

The researchers have established that specific intracellular types of living bacteria possess special enzymes which allow them to permanently remove what is referred to as ubiquitin marking.

These enzymes are found in the intestines of mammals, such as in the human gut bacteria Bifidobacterium, which helps digest complex carbohydrates. Recent studies have shown that another gut ...
