Pili are filamentous surface structures that play a key role in the adhesion, colonisation and biofilm formation of Gram-positive bacteria. These multiprotein appendages are assembled through a highly ...
The discovery shows why it can be so difficult to tackle drug-resistant bacteria, but does provide a possible avenue for tackling the problem. The super-polymer structures the bacteria use to transfer ...

Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn’t just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...
How well bacteria move and sense their environment directly affects their success in surviving and spreading. About half of known bacteria species use a flagella to move — a rotating appendage that ...
Antimicrobial resistance occurs when pathogens such as bacteria develop the ability to resist the drugs designed to kill them. Now, UK researchers have uncovered the mechanism underpinning antibiotic ...
In NMR spectroscopy, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have emerged as one of the most exquisite probes of biological structure and dynamics. The measurement of RDCs relies on the partial alignment of ...
