The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a ...

Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a publication in Cell, scientists from the ...

Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...

Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality. Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build ...

We showed that Ziapin2 causes special channels to open, causing electrical changes in bacterial cells. "Though in its early stages, this technique may help us in the future to better understand ...

A recently identified bacterial protein, named BeeR, is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems. Researchers from King’s College London (UK) and the University of ...
