Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...
Researchers have found that competing strains of Escherichia coli bacteria form distinctive lane-like patterns as their populations grow. It's well understood that populations of species don't ...
The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Plants form alliances with microbes in the soil in which they grow. Legumes, for example, benefit from a symbiotic relationship with microbes that inhabit nodules in their roots ...
It is well known that soil microbes affect plant growth. But the extent of these interactions is not well understood. Using Acmispon strigosus (a native California plant with nodules) and a set of ...
Biologists at Ural Federal University (UrFU) have discovered new strains of bacteria that will allow wheat to be grown even on highly saline soils unsuitable for traditional farming. To search for ...
Do bacteria mutate randomly, or do they mutate for a purpose? Researchers have been puzzling over this conundrum for over a century. In 1943, microbiologist Salvador Luria and physicist turned ...
We have become much more aware of all of the surfaces we touch daily and what kinds of germs can be on them. The Microbiology Lab at the Medical College of Georgia conducted an experiment with ...
