Likely to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. A research team co-led by environmental cell biologist Silvia ...

Researchers show how the rod-shaped bacteria Bacillus subtilis maintains its precise diameter while growing end to end. The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in ...

Likely to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. A research team co-led by environmental cell biologist Silvia ...

From how to capture CO2 in the atmosphere to how to deliver lifesaving drugs, scientists can answer a variety of questions by studying the movement of nanoparticles. Early last month, University ...

The rod-shaped bacterium C metallidurans primarily lives in soils that are enriched with numerous heavy metals. Over time some minerals break down in the soil and release toxic heavy metals and ...

Forest-dwelling bacteria known for forming slimy swarms that prey on other microbes can also cooperate to construct mushroom-like survival shelters known as fruiting bodies when food is scarce. Now a ...

Bacterial biofilms underlie many persistent infections, posing major hurdles in antibiotic treatment. Here we design and demonstrate ‘tug-of-war’ optical tweezers that can facilitate the assessment of ...

AI (artificial intelligence) is being considered as the future of tech world. However, can it help make a positive difference in other fields too? Well, the answer may be yes. According to a recent ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. -- The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in the world, a go-to system for exploring and understanding how bacteria grow, replicate, and divide ...

Likely in order to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. Environmental cell biologists and microbial geneticists have ...
