Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Using high magnification imaging, a team of researchers has identified several never before seen structures on bacteria that represent molecular machinery. The research is published this week in the ...

San Diego State University (SDSU) researchers scraped tubeworms (Hydroides elegans) off the bottom of boats in the San Diego harbor and discovered that a beneficial bacterium that aids them in ...

July 25 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered unusual structures in rare bacteria that resemble the cellular components that power photosynthesis. The discovery, described this week in the journal Trends ...

Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections ...

Within the nucleus of each cell are the blueprints for life, DNA, and it has to be carefully organized into chromosomes not only for a good fit but also in order to properly regulate genes.

AMES, Iowa – Two new discoveries from Edward Yu’s Iowa State University laboratory are adding to the scientific understanding of how bacteria resist antibiotics. Yu and his research group have just ...
