Likely to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria have evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. A research team co-led by environmental cell biologist Silvia ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. -- The slender, rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis is one of the best-studied bacteria in the world, a go-to system for exploring and understanding how bacteria grow, replicate, and divide ...

To support drug discovery, a new study has revealed fundamental features of the transcription cycle in the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

Using genetic sequencing, researchers from Denmark and Australia studied the gut bacteria of cancer patients in a large study and found that Bacteroides fragilis produces a toxin (BFT) in the colon, ...

Evolution has an agenda. Organisms receive cues from the environment and adjust to better survive and thrive based on that input. When it comes to pathogenic bacteria that agenda is far from benign — ...

The bacteria that cause the life-threatening disease cholera may initiate infection by coordinating a wave of mass shapeshifting that allows them to more effectively penetrate the intestines of their ...

Likely in order to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. Environmental cell biologists and microbial geneticists have ...
