Bacteria that cause diseases, so-called pathogens, develop various strategies to exploit human cells as hosts to their own ...

Though they live only a few hours before dividing, bacteria can anticipate the approach of cold weather and prepare for it.

Endosymbiotic organisms have to live inside of another to survive, and this relationship often provides benefits for both the ...

As strains of pathogens resistant to frontline antibiotics become more common worldwide, clinicians are more often turning to ...

Bacteria that cause diseases, so-called pathogens, develop various strategies to exploit human cells as hosts to their own advantage. Researchers have now uncovered the attack strategies employed by ...

Metagenomics, a conventional approach to study genetic material of microorganisms, has been widely used to study the ...

Researchers have made significant strides in understanding bacterial photosynthesis by capturing high-resolution images of ...

Like so many organisms on the planet, when cells experience mosh-pit-level crowding, they may just become stressed. Yet unlike most other life forms, cells subject to physical stress from crowding by ...

Because the integrity of a bacterial cell's "envelope" or enclosure is key to its survival, the finding could advance the search for new and better antibiotics. The research, described August 15 in ...

Researchers at the University of Liverpool and collaborators have arrived at a new understanding of bacterial photosynthesis.
