Space-evolved viruses show enhanced killing power against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering new pathways for phage ...

Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in ...

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...

Unlike most bacteria, Caulobacterales bacteria divide asymmetrically when they reproduce, which creates two cells that look different from each other (top part of the illustration). However, the ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis. University ...

Bacterial cells have lots of interesting abilities. They can easily share genes with one another and evolve; they can pass a kind of memory onto offspring; and they can change and adapt in a variety ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — How fast does evolution occur? In certain bacteria, it can occur almost instantaneously, a University at Buffalo molecular biologist has discovered. Mark R. O’Brian, PhD, chair and ...

You might just think of bacteria as the little beasties that get us sick—but bacteria are so much more! Through evolution, ...
