Aged bacteria can still drive strong carbonate formation in microbial-induced carbonate precipitation systems when their apparent viability is measured properly and built into the treatment design, ...

Gut bacteria aren’t just passive passengers—they can actively send proteins straight into our cells. Using microscopic injection systems, even harmless microbes can influence immune responses and ...

Scientists at Houston Methodist Research Institute have discovered that a fast-rising strep bacterium comes in more forms than expected, including ones that may lead to life-threatening infections.

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

For the first time, researchers have simulated the full workings of a bacterial cell as it copies its DNA and divides into two. The experiment could help researchers to understand how the interactions ...
