Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.
By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...
Defining the Steps Involved in Protein Isolation and Refolding to Provide High-Yield Bacterial cells are widely used for production of various therapeutic proteins. Isolating these valuable proteins ...

Imaging technique tracks individual bacterial cells as they leave their biofilm community
An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...
Baylor University researchers have published a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.
Plants are a rich and renewable source of compounds used in medicines, food ingredients, and cosmetics. Since growing an entire plant just to extract a few specific compounds is rather inefficient, ...
A bizarre bacteria has been discovered with an ability previously thought impossible for its kind. This strange discovery could shine a light on how some of our earliest single-celled ancestors formed ...
