We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have engineered chromosome-free bacterial particles called SimCells that killed more ...

But when antibiotics are ineffective, some rod-like bacteria, such as E. coli, elongate as a stress response, lengthening ...

An Austrian consortium reports that they’ve developed the world’s first fully integrated and automated process for producing recombinant proteins using E.coli. Recombinant protein manufacturer enGenes ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...

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 ...

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 ...
