The team have shown that their nanostructured surfaces resist the growth of bacteria, but enable the culturing of cells. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer ...

In a small randomized trial, people who took capsules containing donated gut microbiomes experienced fewer gastrointestinal ...

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a sophisticated, contact-dependent nanomachine involved in interbacterial competition. To function effectively, the T6SS must penetrate the membranes of both ...

”The capsule means that we can collect information that may help explain individual differences in digestion, nutrient uptake and bowel movement patterns. This provides us with far greater knowledge ...

This work introduces an important new method for depleting ribosomal RNA from bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing libraries, demonstrating its applicability for studying heterogeneity in microbial ...

One of bacterial cells' most well-known defenses against these viruses is the CRISPR system, which evolved in bacteria to help them recognize and chop up viral DNA. A study from MIT biological ...

EZ-Spread™ Plating Beads from AMSBIO (Oxford, UK) allow you to spread bacterial and yeast cells across the surface of an agar plate in just seconds. Eliminating the traditional need for glass rods and ...
