Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

Marine microbes control the flux of matter and energy essential for life in the oceans. Among them, the bacterial group SAR11 accounts for about a third of all the bacteria found in surface ocean ...

The identification, sorting and export of single bacterial cells rather than just populations of them has long been incredibly complex, expensive and often just does not work without damaging the ...

The fascinating world of bacteria that live as symbionts or parasites in animal hosts often remains a mystery to researchers. A research team has made a breakthrough that provides insights into this ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Tuberculosis bacteria survive by hiding in our immune cells. In her PhD research, biologist Salomé Muñoz Sánchez explores how ...
