A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Recent research has identified practical ways to protect and deliver oxygen-sensitive gut bacteria for a path toward safer, standardised microbial therapies that could reduce reliance on donor-based ...

The composition of our gut microbiome is known to influence many elements of the human body, and new lines of research are uncovering some fascinating insights around how this extends to athletic ...

New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to ...

What we eat doesn’t just affect our bodies — it also shapes the evolution of the trillions of microbes living inside us. A ...

Bacterial patterns invisible to the eye reveal hidden information only with correct biochemical triggers, creating ...

Iranian researchers discovered new bacteria, Bacillus spizizenii, that produce large amounts of a starch-breaking enzyme.

Bacteria require specific proteins to multiply, and the blueprint for these proteins is embedded in their genetic material. Protein biosynthesis occurs in two steps: The information contained in DNA ...
