Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the ...

This study reveals how probiotic bacteria directly influence brain cell function, highlighting gut-brain communication and potential therapeutic applications.

Multiple ParA/MinD ATPases coordinate the positioning of disparate cargos in a bacterial cell. Nature Communications , 2023; 14 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-39019-x Cite This Page : ...

“Many researchers who commonly express/purify proteins using bacterial systems construct their expression plasmids using the pET vector system. As people transition to cell-free protein ...

Researchers have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division with the replication of their genetic material. In an interdisciplinary study they explain why the current concept of the ...

Bacteria can keep growing this way, without dividing into new cells before the damage in their DNA is repaired. But B. atropi can use filamentation to move from one cell to another inside of a live ...

Bacteria cells in colonies that had previously swarmed were more prone to swarm again than those that hadn't, and their offspring followed suit for at least four generations—about two hours. On ...

Bacteria are different from you and me. Always the minimalists, they lack features that plant and animal cells usually can’t do without: a nucleus, special organelles, and an internal skeleton ...

Scientists have discovered a bacterium that’s about 5,000 times larger than any other giant bacteria -- large enough to see without a microscope.

Now, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders—by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and ...

The results, published in the Oct. 26 PLOS Biology, show that it’s possible for mammalian cells to use bacteria-killing viruses as fuel — meaning normal, noncancerous cells could do it too ...
