The key advantage of this technique is isolating and cultivating slow growing bacterial cells, which would have been difficult to culture conventionally. “We are getting better and better at designing ...

This image highlights the various challenges in maintaining cell culture integrity, including contamination from bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, and chemicals. It also emphasizes the importance of ...

Researchers led by Dr. Imen Nouioui and Prof. Dr. Yvonne Mast from the Department Bioresources for Bioeconomy and Health ...

Plant-based lactic acid bacteria are a type of beneficial lactic acid bacteria naturally found in the leaves, stems, and roots of plants. They are part of the plant's microbial community (microbiome) ...

This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...

The researchers then employed the Crispr platform, in which two proteins are used to insert genetic code into the DNA of target cells - in this case, those of E.coli bacteria. For the gif ...

Researchers at Newcastle University filmed bacteria "undressing" and taking off their outer layer - or cell wall. Antibiotics can attack cell walls so scientists think this is a new form of drug ...

Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or ...
