But scientists don't understand a fundamental process within bacteria cells: how they organize themselves before division. Driving vs. surfing When cells divide the cell splits into two "daughter ...

Researchers have found a way to generate an alternative jet fuel by harvesting an unusual carbon molecule produced by the metabolic process of bacteria ... arranged in a triangular shape.

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

The Kappe professor of environmental engineering at Pennsylvania State University works on creating alternative-fuel cells powered by anaerobic bacteria. "Because these bacteria breathe without ...

As concerns about waning antibiotic effectiveness grow, researchers are using unique tools to search for new ways to keep ...

The key to the “Second Skin” fabric is the trillion or so single-cell organisms printed into every garment, which has dozens of tiny triangular flaps. The bacteria change shape quickly in ...

This cryo-electron tomography image reveals the internal structure of an ultra-small bacteria cell like never before. The cell has a very dense interior compartment and a complex cell wall.

Scientists wielding a minute hollow needle — and a bike pump — have managed to implant bacteria into a larger cell, creating a relationship that might have helped to spark the evolution of ...

The molecule that Keasling wanted to recreate was called Jawsamycin, named after the movie “Jaws” because of its bite-like indentations, and is created by the common bacteria streptomyces ...
