Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...
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 ...
Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...

Researchers have uncovered the structure of a regulatory mechanism unique to bacteria, opening the door for designing new antibiotics targeted to pathogens. Cornell researchers have uncovered the ...
Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...
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 ...
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 ...
