Microbial synthetic biology seeks to engineer bacterial genomes for industrial and biomedical applications, typically by applying heterologous gene expression in well-characterized model organisms, ...

Transport of proteins and small molecules across cellular membrane is crucial for bacterial interaction with the environment and survival against antibiotics. In Gram-negative bacteria that possess ...

Over the past two decades, high‑throughput sequencing has dramatically expanded our understanding of the gut microbiome's composition.

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of individual human cells infected with bacteria that model tuberculosis—and ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

A new study from Caltech demonstrates that soil bacteria can adapt under stress, particularly when a key nutrient, phosphorus ...
