Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba proposed a new approach to reveal ecological niches (positions within ecosystems) and evolutionary relationships in nature through large-scale growth analysis of ...

Potato salad stays fresh longer when it is kept as cold as possible. TalTech researchers found that low temperatures promote ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have conducted a high-throughput growth assay and used machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay of bacterial growth. The paper is ...

Under ideal conditions, bacterial cell proliferation is exponential, transforming an empty Petri dish into a lush “lawn” of growth. However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are ...

Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" shape-by keeping an enzyme at bay that would otherwise turn the cylindrical ...

Researchers use microbial growth assays for many applications, from examining how different conditions affect certain microbial strains to evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds. Many ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

The group of bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella, E. coli and others, is present at low levels as part of a healthy human gut microbiome. But at high ...
