Researchers at Gladstone Institutes have uncovered an unusual bacterial immune system that operates in reverse of known ...

Columbia researchers discovered a bacterial antiviral system called DRT10 that shares an evolutionary origin with telomerase, ...

Direct sequencing of Casuarina root nodules across the Pacific has uncovered a hidden new Frankia species and widespread ...

Some bacteria evolve like clockwork with the seasons, researchers report. The researchers found that through the course of a year, most individual species of bacteria in Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota ...

Bacteria are the most diverse organisms on Earth, with a number of species that’s difficult to quantify. They’re also incredibly old. Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are ...

Unlike most bacteria, Caulobacterales bacteria divide asymmetrically when they reproduce, which creates two cells that look different from each other (top part of the illustration). However, the ...

Washington DC [US], October 9 (ANI): The researchers have uncovered a new way bacteria detect viral attacks: a virus-produced ...

Marine bacteria have evolved to bypass the copper-based coatings placed under ships to stop the growth of barnacles, algae, ...

Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...

Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...

Marine bacteria have evolved to bypass the copper-based coatings applied to ship hulls to stop the growth of barnacles, algae ...
