A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered ...

AbstractWe study the partitioning of motile bacteria in an aqueous two-phase mixture of dextran (DEX) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can phase ...

Chemical signals: Receptors that have been little researched to date could play an important role in the search for nutrients by beneficial, motile bacteria in the intestine and in communication ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Researchers show how bacteria transmit motion from an inner motor to an outer tail through a flexible joint in the flagellum known as the hook. This finding could help in the fight against deadly ...

Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of ...

Researchers have discovered that when certain microbes pair up, stunning floral patterns emerge. Microbial communities inhabit every ecosystem on Earth, from soil to rivers to the human gut. While ...

Antimicrobials are used to kill or slow the growth of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. They can be in the form of antibiotics, used to treat bodily infections, or as an additive or coating ...
