Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- A decade after microbiologists began to suspect that many groups of bacteria can communicate -- by releasing and detecting chemical pheromones to gauge their population density -- the ...

Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 56, No. 1 (2011), pp. 37-48 (12 pages) Flow cytometric determinations of membrane integrity, nucleic acid content, and respiratory activity were combined with dilution ...

Led by researchers from New York University, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and NYU Langone's Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new study used advanced microscopy to "see" for the first ...
