News Medical: New insights reveal how FtsZ and ZapA cooperate during bacterial cell division
Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...
New insights reveal how FtsZ and ZapA cooperate during bacterial cell division
Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...
Antibiotic resistance is making bacterial infections harder to treat, demanding new therapeutic strategies. A new review highlights bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) as promising nanoscale tools ...
A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...
Science Daily: A donut-shaped protein breaks apart to start bacterial cell division
Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...
