Through photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich carbon compounds such as glucose. These compounds not only sustain the plant's own growth and ...

Bacteria wouldn't be so bad if we could tell them what to do. "Stop spreading! Stop sticking together! Stop fending off our antibiotics!" A new method is starting to allow scientists to do just that, ...

Researchers have discovered that a key bacterial protein, CsrA, gathers in a droplet-like structure inside cells to control when and how bacteria activate their disease-causing genes. This newly ...

Research into cell cycle regulation and size control in microorganisms has yielded a nuanced understanding of how these entities maintain homeostasis and synchronise growth with division. In both ...

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the deadly drug-resistant bacteria NDM-CRE found a 70% rise in infections in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023. Also known as ...

Scientists didn’t understand how bacteria divide up carbon sources into different paths for energy or to build new materials. Professor Ludmilla Aristilde; Professor Niall Mangan; Postdoctoral ...
