Researchers at the University of Zurich have analyzed the genome of bacteria living in Lake Zurich to conclude that microbes ...
Tiny organisms on the ground—bacteria and fungi—have a "superpower" that allows them to reach up into the atmosphere and pull ...
Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...
Researchers identified the pathogen’s genetic material while examining a tooth from a naturally mummified skull housed at ...
The researchers stumbled upon the pathogen by accident, but decided to dig into its genome due to its recent resurgence.
When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
Outbreaks of bacterial meningococcal disease in England and recent cases in students in New Zealand have raised awareness of ...
A former biology researcher at Indiana University in Bloomington has pleaded guilty to using women’s underwear shipments to ...

SNIPE defense lets bacteria destroy phage DNA at the cell membrane
A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...
A new experimental vaccine takes aim at one of tuberculosis’s most stubborn defenses: the ability of bacteria to persist ...
The feat — reported on the preprint server bioRxiv this month 1 — could boost efforts to re-engineer microbial life by moving entire genomes into bacteria to imbue them with useful properties, such as ...
