The ever-diverse fungi play several key roles in our day–to–day life. From facilitating ecological nutrient cycling, to being used in industrial manufacturing and being a key ingredient in our food, ...

Researchers led by Imperial College London have uncovered new insights into how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial ...

Researchers have imaged a major component in conjugation—the process bacteria use to share DNA with each other. During conjugation, bacteria can exchange genetic information in the form of special ...

Researchers now have a better understanding of the mechanism underlying how certain bacteria can transfer genetic material across taxonomic kingdoms, including to fungi and protists. Their work could ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that bacterial movement plays a central role in the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. The research team discovered that the rotation ...
