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 ...

From there, two decades of classic experiments cemented the machinery available inside E. coli cells as the central tool for parsing out basic biological concepts. The role and nature of DNA as ...

Research shows that the disease-causing E. coli O157:H7 interacts directly with plant cells allowing it to anchor to the surface of a plant, where it can multiply. Food-poisoning outbreaks linked ...

The new technique, high-speed in-line force mapping (HS-iFM) has been used to characterize the mechanical properties and appearance of dividing E. coli cells at both high resolution and speed.

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 ...

In fact, we’ve seen Doom play on a myriad of things. And now, some scientists have even managed to run Doom on E. coli cells. Yes, you read that correctly. An MIT doctoral candidate by the name ...

To construct FoldME, the team first compiled the structures of all the protein molecules in E. coli cells and then integrated that data into existing genome-scale models of metabolism and protein ...

Time-lapse analyses of millions of antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli characterize the diverse single-cell dynamics of persister cells that depend on antibiotics, culture conditions, and ...
