Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

This extracellular matrix glues bacteria to surfaces and serves as a slimy shield, protecting cells in the interior from predators and antibiotics. Conventional drugs become ensnared in the matrix, ...

In recent years, bacterial cells have been shown to be spatially organized by localized protein complexes and dynamic cytoskeletal filaments. Localized protein complexes are frequently based on ...

bacteriovorus cells both inside and outside prey bacteria, indicating that the protein is essential throughout the lifecycle. With all evidence thus far suggesting Bd0055 could be a typical histone ...
