Different mixtures - fractions - of proteins have different killing efficacy against three bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) as shown by the shifted peaks ...

Some bacteria can cause mutations associated with colon cancer. Insights about the surface adhesion proteins that enable ...

Viruses known as bacteriophages are difficult to study, but they are beginning to give up their secrets. It is common ...

However, despite intensive research, the factors that determine the shape of bacterial cells remain, in many cases, unknown. A team of researchers led by Martin Thanbichler has now discovered the ...

Like hibernating bears, certain bacterial cells have the ability to shift into a "low-power" metabolic state in which they ...

Like humans and other complex multicellular organisms, single-celled bacteria can fall ill and fight off viral infections. A ...

Predatory bacteria, known as BALOs, are microscopic yet formidable hunters of other microbes, pivotal in both environmental ...

Transplanting microglia derived from human stem cells into mice reveals new possibilities for treating neurodegenerative eye diseases.

Lab experiments, recently published in Science, show that cyanobacteria — a type of bacteria that produces energy from sunlight through photosynthesis — anticipate the change by bundling up in their ...

This important study explores the interplay between gene dosage and gene mutations in the evolution of antibiotic resistance. The authors provide solid evidence to connect proteostasis with gene ...

A new study from UCSF conducted on mice reveals that the diet boosts levels of anti-inflammatory compounds. Scientists have ...
