Even better, they discovered that lariocidin—named for its knotted, lasso-like chemical structure—has a unique mechanism of ...

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 ...

Acquired resistance genes may allow bacteria to degrade or chemically modify antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. They ...

Bacteria control the homeostasis of membrane ... the phospholipid bilayer to minimize energy expenditure and optimize growth. Figure 1: Conserved pathway for the formation of phosphatidic acid ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel ...

Fairburn explains that in the absence of an active anti-phage defence, viral infections inhibit bacterial growth and cause a ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE biology students studying vaccinations, herd immunity, antibiotics and painkillers, antibiotic resistance, bacterial growth in cultures ...

This technique, known as laser-induced surface texturing, also alters the metal's water-repellent properties, which are key in bacterial growth. Laser-textured surfaces possess antibacterial ...
