This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 6, SDG 13, SDG 14, and SDG 15. The study of bacterial systems through the lens of physics is a rapidly evolving field that ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Structural patterns can be created due to the chasing interactions between two bacterial species. In a new model, scientists describe how interactions on the individual level can result in a global ...

Previous studies argued that bacterial cells are too small to directly sense differences in chemical concentration, including chemicals like nutrients and the antibiotics used to treat infections The ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

Article reviewed by Phoebe Lostroh, PhD from Colorado College. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Louis Pasteur prepared the first liquid bacterial culture medium in 1860, ...
