There's a lot of buzz about the gut microbiome—the trillions of microbes that help us digest food and support the immune ...
Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...
A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...
Structural patterns can be created due to the chasing interactions between two bacterial species. In a new model, scientists describe how interactions on the individual level can result in a global ...
Transcriptome-wide profiling of bacterial RNA pseudouridylation maps modification landscapes and nominates candidate regulatory sites, offering a resource and foundation for future mechanistic studies ...
Even though sugars are often framed as simple sources of energy, they also serve as structurally complex and functionally ...
Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...
Even organisms without brains can remember their past: Scientists found that Escherichia coli bacteria form their own kind of memories of exposure to nutrients. They pass these memories down to future ...
