Deep under your feet, bacteria live busy lives. They swim, eat, and even hunt each other. Now, researchers at the University ...

Scientists have uncovered what they say is the first direct evidence of bacteria switching shapes and shedding their cell walls to evade antibiotics. vichly/Depositphotos. 2 / 2.

Given that the bacteria that were resistant to quinolone, β-lactams, and chloramphenicol all exhibited similar shapes and sizes, it seems likely that the same genetic mechanism is responsible for ...

Bacteria are survivors, and they can find ways to get around stuff we use to kill them, like disinfectants and antibiotics. Scientists and clinicians are constantly trying to stay a step ahead of ...

Bacteria have an extraordinary ability to maintain and recover their morphology even after being twisted out of shape. Researchers know that shape is determined by the cell wall, yet little is ...

ScienceTake | Shape Shifting Bacteria Researchers analyzed how groups of rod-shaped E. coli bacteria dissolve their own cell walls and then, after generations, rebuild them.

Research by scientists into why some bacteria have different shapes has found that a curved shape can make it easier to find food. Computer simulations were used to compare the swimming of ...

Scientists suggest genetically modified bacteria that respond to light could be used as 'microbricks' for building the next generation of microscopic devices. Scientists have used light patterns ...

Bacterial Cell Shape Influenced by Mechanical Stress. July 27, 2017. Stressed-out E. coli. recovers its straight, rod-like shape over time. [Lars D. Renner/Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research ...
