Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms.

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.

Thousands of treated patients support the potential of phage therapy, but limited knowledge of this technique and its ...

Bacterial cells differ fundamentally in their structure from animal and human cells. For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane.
