Bacterial physiology is a scientific discipline that concerns the life-supporting functions and processes of bacteria, which allow bacterial cells to grow and reproduce.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning letter to the personal-care brand Tom’s of Maine after finding a “black mold-like substance” and bacteria during an inspection of ...

Personal care brand Tom's of Maine received a warning from the Food and Drug Administration earlier this month after the agency found disease-causing bacteria and mold-like and powdery substances in ...

Donald W. Schaffner, a professor of food and science at Rutgers University, said in an email that the bacteria found might cause illness, particularly for those who are immunocompromised.

We therefore simulate one-sided loop extrusion to investigate whether ‘one-sided’ complexes can compact mitotic chromosomes, organize interphase domains, and juxtapose bacterial chromosomal arms, as ...

Similar to humans, bacteria store their genetic material in the form of DNA and arrange it into structures called chromosomes. In fact, most bacteria have a single circular chromosome. Bacteria ...
