A study published in Nature Communications has revealed novel insights into bacterial resistance and offers a promising ...

Cable bacteria are centimeter-long multicellular bacteria conducting electricity through periplasmic conductive fibers (PCFs). Using single-strain enrichments of the genera Electrothrix and ...

Among bacteria, small genomes relieve organisms of the pressure of maintaining bulky DNA, but this state also requires them to scavenge many basic nutrients and metabolites from their neighbors.

Some of them work on bacteria that can chew up plastics; others work directly with enzymes that can clean up the waste. Multiple scientists, including Manjunath, have turned into entrepreneurs ...

But what about a virus that doesn’t make people sick — just the bacteria that infects people, effectively destroying it? That’s what bacteriophages — or, simply, phages — are ...

In this review, the roles of host glycosylation in interactions with two prevalent bacterial pathogens ... and that these modifications are critical to their structure and function, has led to a shift ...

The demographic and basic clinical data of each group were recorded ... Herein, we depicted the overall structure of bacterial microbiota by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, demonstrated that bacterial ...

forms the backbone of a three-dimensional structure protecting the embedded bacterial cells (Flemming and Wingender, 2010; Nadell and Bassler, 2011; Flemming et al., 2016; Nadell et al., 2016). A ...

In this study, we determined the structure of human TAP bound to ICP47 by electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) to 4.0 Å. The structure shows that ICP47 traps TAP in an inactive conformation distinct ...

We studied the effects of dispersal intensity (three levels) and patch heterogeneity (two levels) on the structure of replicate experimental metacommunities of bacteria and viruses using outdoor ...

Specifically, we determined spatial and temporal patterns of bacterial community structure and their linkages with potential microbial enzyme activities along the hydrological flow paths of the ...
