There are two main types of bacteria, and these categories reflect the microbes' biology and their vulnerability to different ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van ...

Their technique works for bacterial cell division, and for mitochondrial division. The details of their intelligent microscope are described in Nature Methods.

The technique, called Optical Nanomotion Detection, is extremely rapid, single-cell sensitive, label-free, and requires only a basic traditional optical microscope, equipped with a camera or a ...

Researchers found that Bacillus megaterium can turn over 94% of CO₂ into solid rock using a clean, non-ammonia process.

“Using a new state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscope at MSU, Nate was able to ‘see’ the PARIS complex that forms inside of a bacterial cell,” said Wiedenheft.

Viewing these masses under a microscope revealed a surprise: they appeared to be capable of complex motion. Small bacterial cells tended to cluster around the core of each clump, forming a sticky ...
