Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...
Throughout evolution, pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, have developed sophisticated defense ...
Genetic variability across patients might play an important role in shaping the microbiome composition of wounds, thereby influencing the healing process, according to a new study. Genetic variability ...
Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an important pathway for the removal of fixed nitrogen from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Myriad microbes dwell on human tongues — and scientists have now gotten a glimpse at the neighborhoods that bacteria build for themselves. Bacteria grow in thick films, with different types of ...
Some bacterial species, particularly some linked to inflammation, are associated with coronary artery disease, a common form ...
For the first time researchers have deciphered the near-atomic structure of filaments, called 'pili', that extend from the surface of bacteria that cause traveler's diarrhea. Without pili, these ...
New research has revealed that the structure of a bacteriophage, a virus infecting bacteria, resembles that of certain dangerous viruses that infect people. Studying this bacteriophage reveals various ...
