Once established in the lungs, the bacteria's thick cell ... label to Mycobacterium smegmatis, a related bacterium that does not cause disease and does not have the sugar MTX, they saw no ...

“Once the label was incorporated, we figured we could put ‘flashlights’ on it, which would help us to visualize the cell fragments and begin to identify immunostimulatory environments.” No one had ...

Now, a new paper published in Science suggests that bacterial NO helps those cells survive in habitats that they share with antibiotic-producing microorganisms. Cells produce NO with the aid of ...

Pulianmackal, learned how to cultivate this bacterial species in the lab and fluorescently label five cargos, allowing the researchers to follow their movement in live cells through cell growth ...

Biologists from San Diego State University have identified a new way that one type of bacteria invades multiple cells within a living ... "We're seeing things that no one's ever seen before." ...

In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for ... is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the ...

But existing tools cannot be used to apply single-cell RNA sequencing to examine all the molecular relationships between ...

Human bodies don’t contain 10 times as many bacteria as human cells, new calculations suggest ... The reduced ratio in no way diminishes the effect bacteria have on human health, commenters ...

This cryo-electron tomography image reveals the internal structure of an ultra-small bacteria cell like never before. The cell has a very dense interior compartment and a complex cell wall.

Bacteria grow in thick films, with different types of microbes clustered in patches around individual cells on the tongue’s surface, researchers report online March 24 in Cell Reports.

but it's not well-understood how those glycans help to defend the bacteria. One reason for that is that there hasn't been an easy way to label them inside cells. MIT chemists have now overcome ...
