Researchers have developed a ‘smart tweezer’ that is able to pluck a particular bacterial strain from a microbiome of trillions and sequence its genome in a more cost- and resource-effective ...

Recent amplification-based molecular diagnosis methods including PCR can reduce the assay time to hours but are often not sensitive enough to detect bacteria that occur at low concentrations in ...

So, how does a single ... that bacteria—and not just the kinds in our colons, but many types in many environments—use changes in calcium, controlled through a process called “self-organized ...

The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual ... Although bacteria are single cellular organisms, they form spatially ...

Single-celled bacteria exhibit previously unknown "multicellularity" Scientists have discovered that E. coli can exhibit some previously undocumented multicellular behavior Depositphotos ...

The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual ... Although bacteria are single cellular organisms, they form spatially ...

Recently, researchers at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and CANS—Centre for new Antibacterial Strategies—found a clever new way to look at single bacteria and to find the antibacterial ...

Under an optical microscope, swarmers display a large, single swirl that circulates ... effectively to entirely different types of bacteria without the need for retraining the network, maintaining ...

The identification, sorting and export of single bacterial cells rather than populations of them has long been incredibly complex, expensive and often just does not work without damaging the cells.

A small subset of bacteria sometimes hides out and escapes the effects of the drugs meant to kill them. These persisters can then come back with a vengeance and may no longer respond to ... monitored ...
