A team of researchers has discovered how to label and light the sugar backbone of a bacterial cell wall. The findings will advance immune system research, they say. You have three to five pounds ...

Using fluorescently labeled AHL analogues represent an ... between bacteria and host as well as of the cell-to-cell communication in bacteria populations.

but it's not well-understood how those glycans help to defend the bacteria. One reason for that is that there hasn't been an easy way to label them inside cells. MIT chemists have now overcome ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding ... Because the integrity of a bacterial cell's "envelope" or enclosure is key to its survival, the finding could advance the search for new and ...

Pulianmackal, learned how to cultivate this bacterial species in the lab and fluorescently label five cargos, allowing the researchers to follow their movement in live cells through cell growth and ...

For this purpose, FtsZ was fluorescently labeled alongside other proteins. Then the researchers analyzed the effects on individual living bacterial cells over time and also used super-resolution ...

Bacteria grow in thick films, with different types of microbes clustered in patches around individual cells on the tongue’s surface, researchers report online March 24 in Cell Reports.

Now, researchers at the University of Delaware have discovered that bacteria do more than just work together. Bacterial cells from different species can combine into unique hybrid cells by fusing ...
