Researchers have created a novel imaging-technology combination that can capture gene activity in individual bacteria in ...

A groundbreaking study, co-led by researchers from the Center for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics (CBGP) and Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), has elucidated the mechanism by which ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been ...

A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, captured which genes bacteria turn on ...

Weighing in at nearly 2 kilos, our gut bacteria seem to play an even bigger role than was previously thought. These bacteria ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other, building a ...

Superbugs that are resistant to existing antibiotics are a growing health problem around the world. Globally, nearly five million people die from antimicrobial resistant infections each year. The ...

Bacteria detect cell wall fragments as danger signals and form protective biofilms, a survival strategy seen across species and relevant for fighting infections. University of Basel researchers have ...

The MIC of antibiotics to biofilm-growing bacteria may be up to 1000-fold higher than that of planktonic bacteria. [10] Multiple biofilm-specific mechanisms are operated simultaneously in a ...
