Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

coli bacteria produces an enzyme which breaks the contents of their cells down into nutrients after death. The dead bacteria are therefore offering a banquet of nutrients to the cells that were ...

Strategy for discovering protist – bacterial interactions in the ocean. The strategy relied on working at-sea where uncultivated cells could be interrogated without any form of fixation. The cartoon ...

Such recycling of nutrients is necessary for new life to grow. Now a study led by Professor Martin Cann of our Department of Biosciences has shown that a type of E-coli bacteria produces an enzyme ...

Feb. 12, 2025 — Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum ...

The studies also captured spatial data, revealing how spatial factors influence the genes bacteria turn on. This had never been done before, the authors said. Moffitt helped develop MERFISH (short for ...

Bacterial genetics is the study of the mechanisms of heritable information in bacteria, their chromosomes, plasmids, transposons and phages. Techniques that have enabled this discipline are ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Torsional stress in chromatin plays a fundamental role in cellular functions, influencing key processes such as transcription, replication, and chromatin organization. Transcription and other ...
