In the rapidly evolving field of industrial biotechnology, bacteria have emerged as crucial agents driving innovation and sustainable development.

Bacterial cells are far simpler than animal cells - bacterial cells don't even have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or a nucleus. But a new study has suggested that bacterial cells are ...

A new study challenges a decades-old explanation for how bacteria change direction, revealing that the process may be driven ...

PathogenFinder2 is a new AI tool developed by researchers at DTU in Denmark, in collaboration with international partners, to ...

Scientists have engineered a common probiotic bacterium to act like a microscopic drug factory that hunts down tumors and ...

Endosymbiotic organisms have to live inside of another to survive, and this relationship often provides benefits for both the host and its resident. It may seem unusual, but complex cells are thought ...

In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists discovered that gut bacteria and the nose work together to shape ...

E. coli is arguably the most well-studied organism on Earth, but scientists have now discovered a new behavior that’s almost never seen in bacteria. The normally single-celled organisms have shown ...

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

Using microbes to fight diseases like cancer may seem counterintuitive at first. Yet, this approach is at the heart of work ...

Nobody wants to be average. But for a long time, scientists have found it convenient to think of bacterial cells as just that: "average." Researchers have traditionally relied on population-level ...

The mighty snouts on dogs are famously known for their abilities to sniff out everything from disease to explosives, but science is quickly catching up with its own range of artificial noses. Now, in ...
