Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established ...

Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

Researchers discovered that saccharin kills drug-resistant bacteria, disrupts their DNA, and helps antibiotics work better.

When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

A scientist who was working on plague-causing bacteria caught the disease despite using weakened strains that were deemed ...

Saccharin destabilizes bacterial membranes and interferes with DNA replication, causing lysis and impairing virulence traits.

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now ...

Viruses known as “jumbo phage” are a new hope against the rising antibacterial infection crisis. Researchers have discovered ...

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha - a 'living fossil'.

Discover the evolution of bacteria through machine learning, DNA comparisons, and the Great Oxidation Event 2.4 billion years ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...
