Bacterial cells close bacterial cell A microscopic individual cell of a bacterium. have a more simple structure compared to animal, plant and fungal cells and are usually much smaller.

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.

A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, captured which genes bacteria turn on ...

To study the effects of time since glacier retreat, distance between chronosequences and soil depths on the bacterial community structure we used the number of samples belonging to each community ...

A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions ...

We studied the effects of dispersal intensity (three levels) and patch heterogeneity (two levels) on the structure of replicate experimental metacommunities of bacteria and viruses using outdoor ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that ...

Due to its rigid structure, proline frequently causes stalls at ribosomes—the "protein factories" of the cell. All organisms use a specific factor to overcome these stalls. In bacteria ...
