Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B.

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

Bacterial proliferation relies upon an exquisitely coordinated series of events that culminate in cell division and the remodelling of the peptidoglycan sacculus. Division begins with assembly of the ...

A previously unknown mechanism of active matter self-organization essential for bacterial cell division follows the motto "dying to align": Misaligned filaments "die" spontaneously to form a ring ...

New research has uncovered an extraordinary mechanism of cell division in Corynebacterium matruchotii, one of the most common bacteria living in dental plaque. The filamentous bacterium doesn't just ...

Among the more than 500 species of bacteria that thrive in the human mouth, one seems to play by its own rules. This video shows one Corynebacterium matruchotii bacterium dividing into many daughter ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

Learning is often thought to require a brain. But learning is a broad concept that does not necessarily depend on neurons. If ...
