Monitored changes in the number of copies of a gene during DNA replication control the timing of sporulation in bacteria. This discovery links replication to the concept that a gene's location on a ...

Scientists have long searched for the answer to the question of how bacteria decide to cease normal function and form a spore, which in essence means death for the microbe. Bioengineering researchers ...

When it comes to changing their passwords, bacteria are just as bad as you and me -- maybe even worse. A research team has found that despite 2.7 billion years of evolution, bacteria are still using ...

Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers have used a powerful imaging technique to find what they believe may be the missing ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The initial sporulation time of Penicillium notatum Westling grown in shaken submerged culture inoculated with spores or vegetative mycelia is ...

Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible, ...

Streptomyces are soil-dwelling bacteria that produce approximately two-thirds of the antibiotics in current clinical use. The production of these antibiotics - used by the bacteria to fend off rivals ...

“When nutrients are lacking, yeast must stop expending the energy it takes to divide. To survive, they either enter a non-dividing, quiescent state, or they differentiate into spores,” stated Dr.

Two time-course experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship between colonization and sporulation by Scutellospora calospora (Nicol. & Gerd.) Walker & Sanders colonizing roots of ...

Cells that can differentiate towards one fate or another occur across species. However, understanding how an individual cell 'chooses' its fate is challenging; cross-regulation between competing ...

PASADENA, Calif.—Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have used a ...
