Sequencing bacterial genomes allows scientists to study bacterial diversity, immunity, and the human microbiome, but it ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes.

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

The expression of insect PGRPs is often upregulated by exposure to bacteria. Insect PGRPs are ... Short insect PGRPs (for example, PGRP-SA) are pattern recognition receptors that recognize lysine ...

Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and research over the last few decades has established how essential they are to our physiology—in health and disease. A new study from EMBL Heidelberg ...
