Researchers show how the rod-shaped bacteria Bacillus subtilis maintains its precise diameter while growing end to end. The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in ...

Likely in order to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. Environmental cell biologists and microbial geneticists have ...

The bacteria that cause the life-threatening disease cholera may initiate infection by coordinating a wave of mass shapeshifting that allows them to more effectively penetrate the intestines of their ...

Shigellosis is an infection caused by Shigella bacteria. Shigella are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) that can infect the large intestine and cause fever, abdominal cramping, bloody ...

Evolution has an agenda. Organisms receive cues from the environment and adjust to better survive and thrive based on that input. When it comes to pathogenic bacteria that agenda is far from benign — ...

Likely to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. A research team co-led by environmental cell biologist Silvia ...
