Passed onto offspring via infection of the egg, but not sperm, these bacteria have developed a range of reproduction-manipulating mechanisms that ensure their continued prevalence. Chief among these ...

Most bacteria reproduce by making carbon copies of themselves through a process called fission. While this might suggest that all bacteria must be alike, bacteria display staggering diversity ...

An insect ecology professor at the University of Kentucky explored her research on how bacteria affects spider reproduction ...

Yuval Gottlieb-Dror from the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine in Rehovot, discovered that certain bacteria living inside ticks are essential for their survival and reproduction. The research ...

While both are microscopic and can cause infections, they differ significantly in structure, reproduction, and behavior. Bacteria are single-celled living organisms capable of thriving ...

Bacteria reproduce at regular intervals. An example might be every 20 minutes. This allows mathematical calculations to be made in order to predict how many bacteria will be present in a given time.

Bacteria reproduce by cloning themselves through binary fission - a kind of asexual reproduction. In the right conditions, they can reproduce very quickly. Some species can replicate themselves in ...
