Bacteria grow in thick films, with different types of microbes clustered in patches around individual cells on the tongue’s surface, researchers report online March 24 in Cell Reports.

This little molecular machine is called Photosystem 2, and it makes energy for the cell ... bacteria to begin the process of photosynthesis. This clip will be relevant for teaching Biology at KS3 ...

Another one, called condensin, generally protects the DNA during cell division, and the researchers discovered a defense system that uses components of the condensin mechanism to protect bacteria ...

We now know that resident bacteria in the gut outnumber the cells of the host by two orders of magnitude. Although labeled “commensal,” these bacteria (and other microorganisms) do more than ...

To determine how bacteria species affect each other’s growth, the researchers cultured pairs of species, one fluorescently labeled and the other unlabeled. They used fluorescence measurements to ...
