Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Soil salinization and alkalization pose significant global challenges, severely limiting the effective use of arable land and the improvement of agricultural productivity, which is critical for ...

Scientists has found that firmer, lower water content hydrogels limit bacterial growth, with implications for designing antibacterial coatings, infection models, and advanced medical materials.

Researchers from a couple of American universities are corralling bacteria with shear force, giving the tiny organisms renewed purpose. As a result, biodegradable bacterial cellulose can be ...

Bacteria aren't just mindless microbes. New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that single bacterial cells can carry a "memory" of their past environments-passing it down through ...

Under ideal conditions, bacterial cell proliferation is exponential, transforming an empty Petri dish into a lush “lawn” of growth. However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

Hydrogels are soft, jelly-like materials that can absorb large amounts of water. They are widely used in medical technologies ...
