Scientists suggest genetically modified bacteria that respond to light could be used as 'microbricks' for building the next generation of microscopic devices. Scientists have used light patterns to ...

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the ...

Bacteria are survivors, and they can find ways to get around stuff we use to kill them, like disinfectants and antibiotics. Scientists and clinicians are constantly trying to stay a step ahead of ...

Scientists have found that Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a key gut microbe, changes its size and shape in response to its environment. Each different microbe form is linked to specific genetic ...
