A bacterium living quietly in the intestines of a tiny tree frog has done something cancer researchers spend careers chasing: ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Do bacteria mutate randomly, or do they mutate for a purpose? Researchers have been puzzling over this conundrum for over a century. In 1943, microbiologist Salvador Luria and ...

In the 1940s, the famous Luria–Delbrück experiment showed that bacteria evolve resistance to drugs they'd never encountered thanks to a random mutational process. When you purchase through links on ...

That stickiness matters. When bacteria clump together, they sink faster, carrying carbon away from the surface ocean and into ...

Scientists are sending several strains of disease-causing bacteria to the International Space Station as part of the Crew-11 mission. This experiment isn't the plot to some cheesy horror film, but a ...

Researchers suggest targeting the fatty coat of tuberculosis bacteria could enhance the effectiveness of existing TB antibiotics.
