If you've been hitting the gym and getting results, you know it's time to strut your stuff; and it turns out bacteria feel the same way. Researchers from Japan have found that bacteria that have ...

To interrogate bacterial nanotubes, researchers first grow the bacteria in culture, then use sophisticated microscopy techniques and different readouts such as fluorescent tags to check whether cells ...

The sepiolid squid, Euprymna scolopes, has a bilobed luminous organ in the center of the mantle cavity, associated with the ink sac. Luminous bacterial symbionts (Vibrio fischeri) are housed in narrow ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Anaerobic bacteria from a 55°C methane-producing beef waste fermenter were enumerated, isolated, and characterized. Direct microscopic ...

Cornell University food science, engineering and computer science students have joined forces to develop a web-based software and a database to track and compare genetic footprints, or characteristics ...

Fermentation is the enzyme-catalyzed, metabolic process by which food-borne microbes break down and convert molecules such as glucose into metabolites, compounds that determine the quality and ...

The researchers found that the genetic characteristics of bacteria found in lakes that experience dramatic seasonal changes, such as being frozen over in winter and covered in algae in summer, are ...

Bacteria built it: A 3D rendering captured using a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine “cables” as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. (Courtesy ...
