How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Bacteria expressing the viral small RNA PreS (top) show stronger fluorescence, indicating increased activity of a bacterial gene regulated by PreS, compared with bacteria that do not express the RNA ...

A research team has developed DeepCodon, a deep learning–based codon optimization tool that significantly improves heterologous protein expression in Escherichia coli while preserving functionally ...

The current study explored how macronutrients in the host diet are involved in gut colonization and competition by V.

A research team at the Hebrew University has shown that bacteria can survive antibiotic exposure via two distinct ...

The mucosal surfaces that line the body are embedded with defensive molecules that help keep microbes from causing ...
