Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Bacterial cell wall synthesis and division represent central themes in microbiology, as these processes underpin cellular integrity, morphology and reproduction. The dynamic interplay between the ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

A research team led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii splitting into multiple cells at once, a rare kind of cell division called multiple fission. C. matruchotii is one of the most common bacteria ...

Maurya, member of the Manchot Graduate School "Molecules of Infection IV" and lead author of the study: "Controlled from the cell nucleus, the protein ETP9 accumulates at the endosymbiont division ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...
