In labs, bacterial colonies usually grow in streaks in petri dishes, but until now no one has known how the colonies organize themselves in more realistic three-dimensional (3D) environments, such as ...

The interaction between growth and the active migration of cells plays a crucial role in the spatial mixing of growing cell colonies. This connection was discovered by scientists from the Department ...

Depending on the initial conditions used, such as nutrient levels and space constraints, bacteria tend to grow in specific ways. Researchers have created a new type of encryption scheme based on how a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bacterial colonies are far more than simple "piles of cells." They are dynamic, multicellular-like systems characterized by ...

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 ...

(CBS DETROIT) - When it comes to your basement, the atmosphere really has a big effect. For instance, you need a dehumidifier to take some moisture out of the air. If you don't, you could start ...

Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with antibiotics, according to a study published today in eLife. The results show that fast-growing individuals within ...
