The 10th century treatment called Bald’s eyesalve attacks microbes in multiple ways. Molecule mixtures from it may inspire ...

Microbes — tiny organisms invisible to the naked eye — rarely live in isolation. They form dynamic communities that shape ecosystems in our bodies, soils, oceans, and industries. Despite their ...

Bacterial colonies are far more than simple "piles of cells." They are dynamic, multicellular-like systems characterized by intricate spatial organization, functional differentiation, and coordinated ...

A "living circuit" has been developed that connects multiple bacterial colonies like electronic components to perform ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified how certain dangerous bacteria are spread. They studied chain-like ...

Scientists at the MPI-DS have investigated how this motion interacts with the growth of the entire colony, which can be observed in a wide variety of cellular aggregates. Such growth happens when ...

Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods. Not all individuals in a population of ...

Under ideal conditions, bacterial cell proliferation is exponential, transforming an empty Petri dish into a lush “lawn” of growth. However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are ...
