Whether dormant bacteria begin to reproduce is no accident. Rather, they are simply waiting for a clear signal from a single protein in the cell interior. Researchers have now deciphered the molecular ...
Researchers have discovered a 'clockwork' mechanism that controls cell division in bacteria. They report how a small signaling molecule starts the 'clock', which informs the cell about the right time ...
Endosymbiotic relationships—in which one organism lives within another—are striking examples of mutualism, and can often significantly shape the biology of the participant species. In new findings ...
As common as they are, bacteria like the E. coli shown above, have individual genetic differences forged by horizontal gene transfer during reproduction Wikimedia Commons Bacteria are as unique as ...
