Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Coral reefs shape the daily rise and fall of nearby microbes, organizing them into rhythms that influence how reef ecosystems ...

The European Research Council (ERC) will fund Prof. Anupam Sengupta’s research into how bacteria interact with and control light, and possible opportunities for new imaging technologies. The grant of ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

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 ...
