Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

In this Review, we focus on the processes that enable bacteria to maintain metal homeostasis, in particular, of the three most important metals for metabolism — zinc, iron and manganese.

The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of ...

Bacteria are models of homeostasis, sticking to a narrow distribution of sizes and shape. "But the explanations we have so far are not good," Kolomeisky said. "As we know, science does not like magic.

For bacteria to form these long-lasting memories, they must maintain iron homeostasis (a state of balance between low and high levels).

The discovery provides new insights into bacterial cell wall homeostasis and opens potential avenues for developing novel antibacterial therapies.

Microorganisms in the mouth Like the gut, the mouth also contains numerous bacteria necessary for homeostasis. “A wide range of microorganisms are present in the oral cavity.

They found that the process, also known as “size homeostasis,” boils down to two required components: balanced synthesis of specific biological ingredients for cell division, including certain ...

Their study, "A brain microbiome in salmonids at homeostasis," published recently in Science Advances, describes in detail the living bacterial community in the brain of healthy salmonids.

Bacteria are models of homeostasis, sticking to a narrow distribution of sizes and shape. "But the explanations we have so far are not good," Kolomeisky said. "As we know, science does not like magic.
