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

British physician and microbiologist Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin nearly 100 years ago, was the first to warn ...

Biologists converted gut bacteria into miniature protein factories that manufacture and release a sustained flow of targeted proteins inside the lower intestines. This technique solves one of the ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Adaptation of biofilm structure for survival in varying environments ... before they can reach all of the individual bacterial cells within the biofilm. The barrier properties of the EPS hydrogel ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

Here’s how the journey, an example of how a typical such trip happens regardless of administration, unfolded step by step. Every immigration case is different, but for each unauthorized ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.
