Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site.

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features ...

Scientists demonstrate how T4 bacteriophages can calibrate super-resolution microscopes with nanometer accuracy, enabling ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms.

In short, while bacteria may not have “sex lives” in the way humans do, their frequent DNA exchanges play a crucial role in ...
