A new study challenges a decades-old explanation for how bacteria change direction, revealing that the process may be driven ...

Bacterial cells are far simpler than animal cells - bacterial cells don't even have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or a nucleus. But a new study has suggested that bacterial cells are ...

PathogenFinder2 is a new AI tool developed by researchers at DTU in Denmark, in collaboration with international partners, to ...

Technique that inserts the genome of one bacterial species into the ‘dead’ cells of another could open doors for synthetic ...

E. coli is arguably the most well-studied organism on Earth, but scientists have now discovered a new behavior that’s almost never seen in bacteria. The normally single-celled organisms have shown ...

Endosymbiotic organisms have to live inside of another to survive, and this relationship often provides benefits for both the host and its resident. It may seem unusual, but complex cells are thought ...

Scientists have engineered a common probiotic bacterium to act like a microscopic drug factory that hunts down tumors and ...

Researchers have created the first living synthetic bacterium made from non-living parts by killing a bacterial cell and then ...

Nobody wants to be average. But for a long time, scientists have found it convenient to think of bacterial cells as just that: "average." Researchers have traditionally relied on population-level ...

A drug to treat Parkinson's disease can be made from waste plastic bottles using a pioneering method, a study shows. The ...
