Certain strains of bacteria have evolved a way of providing for neighboring cells after they die, giving up a feast of ...

coli bacteria produces an enzyme which breaks the contents of their cells down into nutrients after death. The dead bacteria ... clonally related to the dead cell. "Consequently, the dead cell ...

DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of ...

The dead bacteria are therefore offering a banquet of nutrients to the cells that were their neighbors when they were living. We typically think of death being the end, that after something dies ...

Light and electron microscopy each have their distinct limitations – with light it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve ...

Overuse of antibiotics is currently the primary reason for the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Researchers at the ...

Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweapons in response to cell envelope damage and rapidly strike back with high precision. Some bacteria deploy tiny ...

A self-powered biosensor detects and destroys E. coli using enzyme-driven energy, aptamer-based recognition, and silver ion release for real-time safety.

Study shows predatory bacteria Myxococcus xanthus in soil communities drives antimicrobial resistance through microbial ...
