Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

A vital component in many research fields is the ability to measure bacterial growth for fermentation, antibiotic effectiveness, synthetic biology, and food safety. Estimating bacterial growth ...

Bacteria aren't just mindless microbes. New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that single bacterial cells can carry a "memory" of their past environments-passing it down through ...

Researchers from a couple of American universities are corralling bacteria with shear force, giving the tiny organisms renewed purpose. As a result, biodegradable bacterial cellulose can be ...

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 ...

Effective, accurate and quick ways to screen and sort microbes are in short supply. Most methods available now rely on additional labeling steps to sort bacteria, which are typically time-consuming ...
