The pattern suggests the asteroid fragment was probably contaminated during sample preparation, say the authors. The readiness with which the bacteria colonized the particle, despite precautions ...
Weady S, et al. (2024); Center for Computational Biology, Flatiron Institute As the simulations went on, Weady noticed a pattern emerging. Their calculations revealed that, when push came to shove, ...
The bacteria will then fall into one of the many channels. But the unique pattern makes it extremely difficult for bacteria to find one another and link up like they would on a smooth surface.
Surprisingly, the ground beneath us is packed with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) -- tiny codes that allow bacteria to resist antibiotics. Human activities, such as pollution and changing land use ...
Now, Danish and Ethiopian researchers have linked chronic diarrhea to a specific pattern of gut bacteria, a discovery that could pave the way for new treatments capable of saving lives.
