When a single bacterial cell divides into two during periods of rapid growth, it doesn't split in half once it reaches a ...

As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria ...

The latter is a bacterial cell which only has the absolute minimal ... “And histopathologists often look at the size of the nucleoli as a marker of cancer.” The researchers published an ...

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al. 1988).

Candidate phyla radiation (CPR), a large bacterial phylogenetic group that ... on the host organisms because of their small cell and genome size and lack of biosynthetic pathways for their growth.

Contains genes that help cell to function, eg genes for antibiotic resistance Bacterial cell ? Compartment in cell where DNA is stored as chromosomes Controls activities of cell Animal cell ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella ... The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the flagellum. On the other hand, ...

Bacteria build nanoweapons when their cell envelope is damaged, striking back with precision. Researchers triggered this ...
