Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...

Project PriMe intended to speed classification of biofilms with marker-free, contactless imaging. Detecting bacteria rapidly and contactlessly with a microscope. Using a multimodal microscope, Laser ...

Scientists have identified why some gut microbes successfully stay in the gut after fecal transplants, while others are much more transient. The King's College London discovery could help make the ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.
