A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...
Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...
Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...
Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...
On sunken leaves in the waters of a Caribbean mangrove swamp, researchers discovered a bacterium that challenges the prevailing view of bacterial cell size; counter to the notion that microbes are ...
University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...
Some bacteria carry tiny syringes filled with chemicals that may thin out competitors or incapacitate predators. Now, researchers have gotten up-close views of these syringes, technically known as ...
As a grad student in cell biology, Shaeri Mukherjee was always on the lookout for new ways to fiddle with cells’ internal structures. It was the early 2000s, and Mukherjee was working in Dennis ...
