Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

Scientists have found that a predatory bacterium, capable of invading and consuming harmful bugs such as E.coli and Salmonella, can sculpt its own shape to fit inside its prey. Scientists have shown ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Scientists have found that a predatory bacterium, capable of invading and consuming harmful bugs such as E.coli and Salmonella, can sculpt its own shape to fit inside its prey. In a new paper, ...

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied miniscule bacteria in microscopy images. It can also identify several other types of tiny objects in ...

Osaka, Japan - If you’ve been hitting the gym and getting results, you know it’s time to strut your stuff; and it turns out bacteria feel the same way. Researchers from Japan have found that bacteria ...

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied and miniscule bacteria in microscopy images. It has gone beyond this initial goal to identify several other ...

Bacteria typically live out their teeny-tiny lives in the microscopic realm, but now scientists have found a gargantuan one the size and shape of a human eyelash. The new find is "by far the largest ...

Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a capsule. This primarily protects the bacteria from environmental ...
