A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a pre‐eminent model organism for the study and application of protein expression and secretion, owing to its robust secretory pathways and genetic tractability. Its ...

UHPLC-QTOF metabolomics revealed garlic extract and B. subtilis alter key defense pathways, enhancing tomato resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum, an agent of bacterial wilt.

Researchers show how the rod-shaped bacteria Bacillus subtilis maintains its precise diameter while growing end to end. The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in ...

Most motile bacteria move by the use of flagella. While the flagellar motor components have been identified, it remains unclear how they are assembled and activated. Researchers have now shown, ...

One reason plastic waste persists in the environment is because there’s not much that can eat it. The chemical structure of most polymers is stable and different enough from existing food sources that ...

Microbes essential for human health have proven resilient against the extreme forces of space travel, offering hope for maintaining astronaut well-being on future long-duration missions. When you ...

Bacteria are intimately involved in our daily lives. These microorganisms have been used in human history for food such as cheese, yogurt, and wine. In more recent years, through metabolic engineering ...
