Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

Contamination is one of the main roadblocks to successful cell culture. This article explores the different types of ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum ... But sometimes it has a hard time vacuuming up the swimming bacteria and microscopic algae it eats ...

Some cell-shocking facts about these microscopic organisms — they may lack bones, bravado, or branding, but they are among ...
