Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce designer proteins by smuggling artificial amino acids, enabling precise drug delivery and multifunctional applications.

Bacteria talk to each other using N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signals. This signaling allows the bacteria to control gene expression of virulence factors and biofilms once ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

A bizarre bacteria has been discovered with an ability previously thought impossible for its kind. This strange discovery could shine a light on how some of our earliest single-celled ancestors formed ...
