Streptococcus suis enhances its pathogenicity by dynamically expressing capsular polysaccharides.

Sea spiders living near deep-sea methane seeps appear to cultivate and eat bacteria on their exoskeletons ...

The study suggests that Firmicutes bacteria, including those from the Lachnospiraceae family, can help maintain bone mass. This is achieved through the modulation of the host's metabolic and ...

A newly discovered bacterial species aboard China's Tiangong space station may offer insights into how life can survive and potentially thrive in space.

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human ...

Understanding the inheritance of bacterial metabolic activity is of high practical significance to microbial engineering and offers fundamental insights into chemical and synthetic biology. In ...

2003In exponentially growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, rRNA synthesis is determined by the summed RNA polymerase I loading rate rather than by the number of active genesMol.

A new doctoral thesis from the University of Borås, Sweden, now presents exciting advancements in this area. It involves using bacteria to produce fibers that can help heal bones.

A chemical analysis revealed that the bacterial cellulose contained plant hormones, probably produced by the bacteria responsible for its synthesis.

Understanding these fundamental processes holds great potential for developing new antibiotics that target these specific pathways in bacterial protein synthesis, according to the researchers.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens poses a serious threat to global health. Gram-negative bacteria have become increasingly recognized as underexplored sources of ...
