Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...
A unique “flat” dimeric structure of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centre-light harvesting membrane complexes discovered by state-of-the-art cryogenic electron microscopy. Researchers at the ...
Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they can contain pathogens and are highly resistant to treatment. Chemists at ...
A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular genetic structures, termed obelisks, differ from known viruses and bacteria and ...
