Bacterial cells have colonized every part of our world. But even though some can evade disinfectants to live in NASA cleanrooms, others are very challenging to grow in the lab environment. Scientists ...

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut. The study opens the door to using cultured ...

To find bioactive molecules with the potential to become new drugs less prone to antibiotic resistance, the researchers sequenced bacterial DNA extracted from soils from Rockefeller's field center in ...

Human gut cells grown on an Invasin coating produce high numbers of all cell types. The 2D structure enabled by Invasin preserves the natural organization of cells and makes both sides of the cell ...

Learn how fog bacteria may grow inside tiny droplets, break down formaldehyde, and change how researchers think about the air ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...
