Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown that bacteria can learn from past experiences, store memories across ...
Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the ...
Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" shape-by keeping an enzyme at bay that would otherwise turn the cylindrical ...
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the ...
Bacteria come in all shapes and sizes -- some are straight as a rod, others twist like a corkscrew. Shape plays an important role in how bacteria infiltrate and attack cells in the body. The helical ...
A sweeping new study has uncovered global patterns in how bacteria thrive and interact within lakes and reservoirs, offering new insights into the invisible forces that sustain freshwater ecosystems.
Image: Stalks increase the rate of nutrient uptake by efficiently increasing cell surface area. The finding has potential implications for both ecology and drug production Bloomington, Ind. — The ...
