The E. coli rosettes were seen growing in chains, keeping their four-cell arrangement in each “link,” for as long as 10 generations. Parallel chains were found to form biofilms across a ...

England's approach to modeling biological systems involves statistical mechanics, which calculates the probabilities of different arrangements ... of the amount an E. coli cell actually produces ...

According to Ramlan, for the project to work, E. coli cells must function as traditional pixels capable of being either “on” or “off.” They also need to collectively light up to form ...

The formation of persisters is an important feature of bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli). These noxious cells, being able to go dormant, are highly resistant to antimicrobial treatments and ...

An E. coli cell, for example, measures about two microns ... they typically generate fuel with molecules embedded in their membranes. This arrangement works well for tiny cells.

Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and releasing a DNA-damaging toxin. The study, published in Nature ...

Nyerges and colleagues short-circuited this outcome by making substitutions throughout genes in the modified E. coli cells so that all codons that call for leucine got replaced with TCG or TCA ...
