However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are inevitable, as proliferating cells must balance growth rates with the stress of overcrowding and nutrient resource limitations. Other ...

Overall, this work represents a significant advance in active matter physics, a field that seeks to shed light on the governing mechanisms behind self-propelled systems ranging from bacterial colonies ...

Indeed, Schwartzman had previously observed that V. splendidus clump up when suspended in liquid media, but the colonies that the bacteria formed this time around were much neater and more organized ...

New study links brain implant bacteria to Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and stroke. Damaged blood-brain barrier allows gut ...

Over the next few sessions in lab you will be learning how to isolate bacterial colonies into individual species. This allows for the creation of a pure culture, a culture of bacteria containing only ...

Boston University researchers have found that microplastic contamination is fueling antibiotic resistance in bacteria, ...

a field that seeks to shed light on the governing mechanisms behind self-propelled systems ranging from bacterial colonies to bird flocks and fish schools. Future studies will focus on ...
