Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school. Neel Joshi, a ...
How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open ...
Bacterial chromosomes are spatiotemporally organized and sensitive to environmental changes. However, the mechanisms underlying chromosome configuration and reorganization are not fully understood.
Within the realm of biocatalysis and green chemistry, the exploitation of microbial enzymes has emerged as a potent method for the sustainable synthesis of valuable compounds. Baeyer-Villiger ...
The research is published in Science Signaling and opens a new window of understanding into proteins that have long been overshadowed by research focused on other components of the bacterial cell. The ...
Discoveries may help to explain why some bacteria are hard to eliminate, and also point to potential future approaches to improving antibiotic effectiveness.
Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, relies ...
When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from ...
Interestingly, the bursting cell caused depressurization of both left and right daughter cells, indicating that the cells were not completely separated internally. This observation suggests that ...
