Researchers have discovered how bacterial vesicles hitchhike on thin, hair-like protrusions on the cell surface to quickly ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the microscopic "bubbles" released by bacteria in our body do not just ...

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 ...

Marine bacteria normally seen as single cells join together as a “microscopic snow globe” to consume bulky floating carbohydrates. Close your eyes and imagine bacteria. Perhaps you’re picturing our ...

In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers assessed a novel method for bacterial cell segmentation named Omnipose. Breakthroughs in microscopy are extremely promising for enabling ...

Scientists have discovered that bacteria living inside tumors can produce a molecule that fights cancer and enhances ...

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered. Researchers found that the transporter controls resistance to certain kinds of cell-wall targeting ...

The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...

The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is a soil microbe that produces diverse natural products with potential ...
