To map the differences in virulence and disease-causing ability between the various subspecies of salmonella, for example, researchers need to sequence the DNA of the bacterial cells on the single ...

This study reveals how probiotic bacteria directly influence brain cell function, highlighting gut-brain communication and potential therapeutic applications.

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures.

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered by researchers at Umeå university, Sweden. They found that the transporter controls resistance to ...

The research findings also suggest an evolutionary advantage of SOC, because it provides a way for individual bacteria to diversify, even without communicating with one another. SOC could be compared ...

Novel bacteria parasitizing archaea Successful isolation of ultrasmall bacteria belonging to the CPR, a large phylogenetic group that includes various lineages of uncultivated bacteria Date ...

On a test run of their model, researchers found evidence that phages may increase gut bacteria’s sensitivity to antibiotics. Their results were published April 28 in the journal Cell Host and ...
