These bacteria are totally unlike their brethren nearer the surface, and there might be even stranger bacteria further down. Earth’s crust only covers the top 1% of the planet’s outer volume.

Using single-molecule tracking and high-resolution microscopy, researchers were able to see how the surface layer (S-layer) of Caulobacter crescentus bacteria forms and develops. This knowledge is ...

In research published in Nature Microbiology in 2022, Worden's team used on-board cell sorting to identify one type of bacterial symbiont, dubbed Comchoano, within a species of choanoflagellate.

Closely related bacterial species use different strategies to build their cell walls, an international team of scientists led ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are making it increasingly difficult to combat many infections. And types of bacteria classified as “Gram-negative” — which refers to the Gram staining method used to ...
