Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the microscopic "bubbles" released by bacteria in our body do not just drift around randomly. Instead, they use the thin protrusions of cells as a ...

A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...

We showed that Ziapin2 causes special channels to open, causing electrical changes in bacterial cells. "Though in its early stages, this technique may help us in the future to better understand ...

Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...
