Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...
In a counterintuitive move, bacteria are known to produce self-destructive toxins. However, they also make antitoxins, and ...
As humans, we often focus on viruses and bacteria because of their role in causing various, sometimes severe, diseases.
Upon reflection… A group of scientists have warned against the development of mirror bacteria in a report published in the ...
Engineers showed that some types of soil bacteria can influence a plant's balance of growth and defense. The bacteria produce an enzyme that can lower a plant's immune activity and allow its roots to ...
Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the ...
A burgeoning field of therapies is harnessing the power of the microbiome to treat and potentially prevent diseases.
A new study has uncovered how the defense mechanisms of bacteria can be neutralized, facilitating more efficient genetic ...
University of Oregon researchers are helping to uncover the mechanisms at work when one ingests contaminated food or water.
Researchers at University of Tsukuba conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and ...
Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...
Genetic and environmental factors influence cell growth. Although previous studies have evaluated the influence of these factors on growth, conducting studies that assess such factors in a cross-talk ...
