A research team at the University of Würzburg has, for the first time, uncovered how E. coli bacteria sneak into the prostate ...

By reconstructing a non-natural metabolic route in Escherichia coli, the researchers demonstrated that simple sugars can be ...

An E.coli bacterium (pink) binds to a host cell surface in the lower left of this illustration. Sticking tenuously to a host cell is an early step in infection. In the upper right, antibodies deceive ...

That’s only one problem. Your immune system also has an adaptive system of specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy invading microbes. This system remembers what those intruders ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by ACROBiosystems. Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is widely used in various clinical, commercial, and research and development bioprocessing applications, ...

Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, relies ...

The team also observed a weak spot, less than 100 nm in diameter, in a dividing E. coli cell that ruptured, causing cell depressurization and death. Interestingly, the bursting cell caused ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
