New research examines how the bacteria Escherichia coli, or E. coli -- responsible for most UTIs -- is able to use host nutrients to reproduce at an extraordinarily rapid pace during infection despite ...

An insect ecology professor at the University of Kentucky explored her research on how bacteria affects spider reproduction during a March 20 lecture. The researcher, Jen White, presented her findings ...

Studying the impact of the environment on animal evolution is no easy task, as most animals reproduce slowly and exhibit complex behaviors. However, microbiologists have an advantage: Bacteria ...

Researchers have discovered that virus-like nanoparticles can promote the multicellular organization and reproduction of host bacteria. These particles, which are evolutionarily related to phages ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have made unexpected discoveries regarding a significant, previously unexamined group of bacteria, with some sourced from Swedish lakes.

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...

Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) researchers have produced the most complete map of the bacterial essential interactome, i.e. how proteins combine and interact to perform functions essential ...
