New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down Let’s talk about the ...

In a recent study, researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they were a multicellular organism. The organisms in the study are the only ...

Intracellular bacteria use various tricks to control eukaryotic cell biology to their advantage, allowing them to get into and out of cells, move around, and pilfer resources. Some of the best studied ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...

Los Alamos, N.M., Oct. 19, 2021 – In a novel, broad assessment of bacterial-fungal interactions, researchers using unique bioinformatics found that fungi host a remarkable diversity of bacteria, ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Genomic sequencing tools have enabled researchers to study microbial communities that are everywhere in our world, even our bodies. The interactions between bacteria and other bacteria, and bacteria ...

"Until now, examples of bacterial-fungal interactions were pretty limited in number and diversity," said Aaron Robinson, a biologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and lead author of a new paper ...
