Biologists have discovered the largest bacterium ever, and you can see it with the naked eye. Researchers found the bacterium living in Caribbean mangroves. A single cell of its thread-like body, if ...
New work shows that bacteria (and probably other cells as well) don't double in mass before dividing. Instead they add a constant volume (or mass) no matter what their initial size. A small cell adds ...
The study of relationships between cell size and productivity is of key importance in microbial ecology to understand which members of natural aquatic communities are responsible for the overall ...
Marine bacteria have important functions in oceanic biogeochemical cycles (Pomeroy et al., 2007). Through their actions, they control the fate of the fixed carbon (C) in the ecosystem (Azam et al., ...
One of the most common bacteria in the Earth, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, influences the mobility and bioavailability of iron and environmental contaminants like lead, cobalt and arsenic. Researchers ...
Nearly half of the sequenced bacteria are lysogens and many of their prophages encode adaptive traits. Yet, the variables driving prophage distribution remain undetermined. We identified 2246 ...
In 2001, the FDA approved the use of capsule endoscopy, which uses a capsule size camera [1.2 inches long by 0.4 inches in diameter]. These are passive systems. There is work to make smaller robotic ...
Common soil bacteria injected into solid cancers in pet dogs and one human patient shrank many of the tumors, scientists reported on Wednesday. The preliminary findings offered hope that the ...
