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 ...
In most people, these bacteria coexist peacefully and contribute to a mutually beneficial relationship, with both human and ...
The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the ...
PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...
A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...
Many bacteria contain primitive organelles composed entirely of protein. These bacterial microcompartments share a common architecture of an enzymatic core encapsulated in a selectively permeable ...
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 ...
Tubeworms (Hydroides elegans) are tiny marine creatures with hard shells that cause a lot of trouble and economic loss for boat and ship owners. They stick to the bottoms of boats and form ...
For over three decades, the function of unusual bacterial structures called retrons has remained unclear. Now, a team has solved the longstanding mystery: Retrons are immune system “guards” that ...
