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 ...
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 ...
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., ...
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 ...
Three aspects of size selective feeding by the scuticociliate Cyclidium glaucoma were studied in continuous cultivation systems. Firstly, grazing-induced changes in abundance, biomass, and size ...
