By understanding the specific manner in which a typical bacterium progresses, researchers can more precisely target preventive measures that will interrupt that process. To survive, bacteria ...

Much like something out of science fiction, B. atropi grows up to 100- times the size of an average bacterium over the course of 30 hours without dividing – a process known as filamentation. Although ...

and sizes (from half a millimeter to 10 micrometers—similar scale to a typical bacterium) and incubated them with Escherichia coli for 10 days. Every 2 days, the researchers checked the minimum ...

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

bacteriovorus cells both inside and outside prey bacteria, indicating that the protein is essential throughout the lifecycle. With all evidence thus far suggesting Bd0055 could be a typical histone ...
