Researchers led by Professor Erik van Nimwegen at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have discovered a new mechanism in ...

New research reveals your gut’s friendly bacteria may also be setting off a dangerous chain reaction inside your body.

Bacterial cells close bacterial cell A microscopic individual cell of a bacterium. have a more simple structure compared to animal, plant and fungal cells and are usually much smaller.

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 ...

Bacterial resistance negates the effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infection. Using mouse models, researchers now show that if antibiotics are administered with an enzyme called endolysin, the ...

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 ...

Researchers typically utilize simple bacterial cells in their experiments, but they still do not have all the answers, particularly when it comes to eukaryotic replication. Nonetheless ...

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, ...

Study: Saccharin disrupts bacterial cell envelope stability and interferes with DNA replication dynamics. Image Credit: Tatjana Baibakova / Shutterstock A recent study published in the journal ...

To achieve these advances, however, scientists must first know how phages specifically attach to bacterial cells early in infection — information that until now could be obtained only through a ...
