Scientists have long known that bacterial cells can easily share DNA, and now we know they can share other things too... | ...

Every year, bacteria kill more than a million people worldwide through infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. In ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

FtsZ and ZapA protein complex plays an important role in bacterial cell division. However, the structure of this complex was elusive. In this study, the researchers focused on the interaction of the ...

A research team led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in ...

A previously unknown mechanism of active matter self-organization essential for bacterial cell division follows the motto 'dying to align': Misaligned filaments 'die' spontaneously to form a ring ...

Bacterial proliferation relies upon an exquisitely coordinated series of events that culminate in cell division and the remodelling of the peptidoglycan sacculus. Division begins with assembly of the ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...
