To see how microgravity changes certain microbes, researchers sent bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages to the ...
The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...
Pseudomonas bacteria infected by different mutations of a jumbo phage. The dot in the middle is the shield created by the phage to protect its DNA after it has infected the bacterial cell. Image by ...
Viral vs. Bacterial Fever Symptoms: The weather is currently changing rapidly. Just a few days ago, the sun was blazing, but ...
Penn State scientists uncovered an ancient bacterial defense where dormant viral DNA helps bacteria fight new viral threats. The enzyme PinQ flips bacterial genes to create protective proteins that ...
University of Toronto researchers have uncovered how bacterial viruses protect their progeny in order to maximize their reach. The phenomenon, described in a study published in Nature, relies on viral ...
The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...
