Caulobacter crescentus provides a robust model for exploring the complexities of bacterial cell cycle regulation. Its unique life cycle, typified by an asymmetric division that produces distinct ...

In the 15 December Science, Laub et al. find that a full 19% of the genome of the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus is subject to cell-cycle-specific regulation (Science 2000, 290:2144-2148). A ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have made unexpected discoveries regarding a significant, previously unexamined group of ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse and ancient forms of life on Earth. Yet, much of what is known about them comes from a ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Researchers at Washington State University have uncovered evidence that sleep may not be entirely a function of the brain but also the microbes living within us. They discovered that bacterial cell ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

During growth, cells must expand their cell volumes in coordination with biomass to control the level of cytoplasmic macromolecular crowding. Dry-mass density, the average ratio of dry mass to volume, ...

It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can ...
