About one in six cellphones tested in the U.K. had traces of E. coli bacteria from fecal matter, a new study released for Global Handwashing Day suggests.

A look beyond topography: Transient phenomena of Escherichia coli cell division captured with high-speed in-line force mapping. Science Advances, 2025; 11 (5) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ads3010 ...

Methods and materials E. coli DNA from an E. coli standard cell line was used for each sample and measured 18 times using the Thermo Fisher Qubit 4.0 fluorometer.

The team also observed a weak spot, less than 100 nm in diameter, in a dividing E. coli cell that ruptured, causing cell depressurization and death. Interestingly, the bursting cell caused ...

Haslinger believes the model is flexible, as the data-driven part can be retrained for different cell lines and products, and the mechanistic part can also be easily reconfigured.

Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is a key material for producing gene therapies, mRNA and DNA vaccines. The alkaline lysis process to isolate pDNA is simple on the benchtop, but it’s challenging at industrial scale ...

Bosco broth had a higher total protein yield—approximately 175 mg/L versus 40 mg/L or less for the other four broths—because it supports a high-density E. coli cell culture and folds efficiently.
