Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance.
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 single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...
An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...
