Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the ...

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...

It's important to know how microorganisms -- particularly pathogenic microbes -- grow under various conditions. Certain bacteria can cause food poisoning when eaten and bacterial growth in medical ...

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can’t be grown in the ...

The field of environmental biotechnology increasingly recognizes the urgent need to address antimicrobial pollution in agricultural systems. The widespread ...

iRIL-seq faithfully captures sRNA-target interactions. Credit: Nature Communications (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43632-1 In a study published in Nature Communications, Prof. Chao Yanjie's group at ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Afforestation transforms degraded soils in semi-arid regions, increasing microbial necromass and enhancing soil carbon and nitrogen pools, thereby improving ecosystem health.

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

How are microbial communities, like those in the human gut and natural environment, fueling the spread of antimicrobial resistance? Here’s how. A new scientific review from Shenyang Agricultural ...
