Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

Hydrothermal activity detected for the first time in the underwater volcano between Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Experts issue warning.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Hardy bacteria could survive the trip from one planet to another, hidden among the debris from an asteroid impact, a new study suggests, providing possible evidence for a theory that the seeds of life ...

There was good news for shellfish farmers last month, with confirmation from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) that a change to the way in which E. coli levels are determined in bivalve molluscan ...

In scientific circles, the concept of a "metabolic switch" has begun to gain popularity. However, the phrase seems to be both true and a little deceptive.

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

It turns out you can quite literally see an analog signal if the conditions are right—and you look closely enough.

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harboring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

You described the microbiome as more than just bacteria. What are the other components of this "theatre of activity," and why is their inclusion sometimes considered controversial? Harris: Yeah. So it ...

Janina Krumbeck, PhD, discusses the clinical advantages of next-generation sequencing over traditional culture and how this untargeted diagnostic approach provides comprehensive pathogen ...

The researchers used Deinococcus radiodurans, an extremely resilient bacterium, to test their hypothesis.
