The team also found similar gene expression trends in Staphylococcus aureus, a distantly related species, suggesting that the process might be conserved across bacteria. However, “how much you can ...

Typically, when individual bacteria divide, they produce and release autoinducers. When cell density is low, these molecules diffuse in the environment, and bacteria regulate gene expression ...

Then, because bacteria divide rapidly, they can be used as factories to copy DNA fragments in large quantities.

Bacteria don't evolve in the same way as people. When they divide and create a clone, there is no genetic diversification. Instead, major changes critical to evolution happen via mobile genetic ...

Part 1 – Calculate how many times the bacteria divide in six hours In this example, the bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, \(\frac{60}{ ...

Henkel, a shampoo company in Mexico, has recalled 1,068 units of shampoo due to possible exposure to a bacteria that can lead to eye, nose and skin infections, and possibly more adverse reactions ...

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

Calculate how many times the bacteria divide in 6 hours. In this example the bacteria divides every 20 minutes, and therefore will divide three times every hour (\(\frac{60}{20} = 3\)).

Because bacteria divide into two equal parts and bacterial strains can continue on indefinitely, scientists used to assume that bacteria could not age. However, recent studies have shown that ...

Prokaryotes, which include bacteria and single-celled microorganisms ... a bacterial cell reproduces by simply replicating its chromosome and dividing into two daughter cells.
