Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms – they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi.

Compared to viruses, bacteria are larger and have a more sophisticated structure that includes a cytoplasm, membrane, cell wall, and genetic material. Because they reproduce via binary fission ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other ...

Yersinia bacteria use a membrane protein ... researchers can culture organoids as flat 2D sheets. This flat structure holds many advantages: the cells are easier to culture and examine, and ...
