Space-evolved viruses show enhanced killing power against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering new pathways for phage ...
Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

Viruses may be more powerful in the International Space Station's microgravity environment
The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through ...
The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...
Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis. University ...
Bacterial cells have lots of interesting abilities. They can easily share genes with one another and evolve; they can pass a kind of memory onto offspring; and they can change and adapt in a variety ...
Unlike most bacteria, Caulobacterales bacteria divide asymmetrically when they reproduce, which creates two cells that look different from each other (top part of the illustration). However, the ...
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — How fast does evolution occur? In certain bacteria, it can occur almost instantaneously, a University at Buffalo molecular biologist has discovered. Mark R. O’Brian, PhD, chair and ...
