Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...
ITHACA, N.Y. - Cornell researchers have uncovered the structure of a regulatory mechanism unique to bacteria, opening the door for designing new antibiotics targeted to pathogens. As the threat of ...
Researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structure of bacteria's 'propellers' in near atomic detail. University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers and their collaborators have ...
Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

Detailed structure of PelBC complex shows how bacteria build antibiotic-resistant biofilms
Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they can contain pathogens and are highly resistant to treatment. Chemists at ...

Scientists discover new forms of life inside human bodies that don’t match anything biology has classified
A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular genetic structures, termed obelisks, differ from known viruses and bacteria and ...
The flagellar tails of bacteria rotate clockwise or counterclockwise because of active mechanical forces that pressure the ...
