A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound.

As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

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 ...

Using electron microscopy and elemental analyses, we show that the two cable bacteria genera have similar cell envelopes and cell–cell junction ultrastructures. Iron, sulfur, and nickel signals are co ...

Researchers have created a novel imaging-technology combination that can capture gene activity in individual bacteria in their complex local environments, opening new avenues to investigate bacterial ...

However, our understanding of the functions of bacterial communities in the plant different root components (i.e., rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endosphere) and their impact on water purification is ...
