The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

In 1975, Pribnow discovered the 'TATAAT box,' a well-conserved sequence centered around 10 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site of Escherichia coli promoters. This motif, together with ...

Studying E. coli DNA, the researchers found that the DNA sequences Zur and ZntR recognize overlap partially, raising the question of whether they really can cross-interact. The experiment proving ...

If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer ... and eukaryotes (Table 1). Sequence-specific transcription factors ...

During an inspection, E. coli was found at 1,000 times the legal limit in Crosby, Texas, roughly 30 minutes northeast of Houston. Although the contaminated water isn't getting into the region's ...

Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson ended development of an experimental vaccine after it failed to adequately protect against an ...

Recent research looked at the prevalence of E. coli and other pathogens on organically grown vegetables. The research team was concerned with poultry ...

Pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson and Sanofi have stopped a late-stage clinical trial for their experimental E.coli vaccine after results failed to demonstrate sufficient efficacy.

Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli, is a versatile bacterium. While many strains are harmless and a natural part of our intestinal ...
