This versatility allows bacteria to establish the complex temporal and spatial regulatory networks that couple morphological and physiological differentiation with cell-cycle progression.

In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is ...

Viruses in the lytic pathway kill and lyse their host bacterial cell, but in the lysogenic cycle, the phage integrates its genetic material into the bacterial genome and keeps its host alive.

Intracellular bacteria use various tricks to control eukaryotic cell biology to their advantage ... from which Listeria escapes to access the cytoplasm and begin the cycle again (5).

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

an organism grows an organism becomes damaged and needs to produce new cells for repair organisms like bacteria reproduce ... of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the ...

Earth's iron cycle is a very complex biogeochemical ... which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al.
