Scientists led by Karla Satchell, Ph.D., the Anne Stewart Youmans Professor of Microbiology at Northwestern University, have discovered previously unknown molecular mechanisms that help a type of food ...

Bacterial cells can 'remember' brief ... the persistence of DNA organization in yeast and the multiplicity of cell types in higher organisms.Because E. coli is a well-studied model organism ...

They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells ... otherwise, the bacteria might come back. How long a viral infection lasts depends on what type of virus causes it.

And because the injection systems consist of bacterial proteins ... tail fibers to recognize surface markers on other cell types as well. Zhang’s team also found it could pack the system ...

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of ...

But it was unclear how it could withstand the journey through the gut and eventually invade tumor cells in places in the body where these types of bacteria usually don’t survive. In the study ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown how the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) directly cross the brain's ...

Researchers from the Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute have found that specific gut cells, BEST4/CA7 + cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that ...

One of these processes is conjugation, which is often referred to as a type of bacterial parasexual ... process in Gram negative bacteria. 1. Conjugation initially requires the expression of the MPF ...
