Researchers discovered that targeting S. pyogenes metabolism with a pyruvate dehydrogenase inhibitor reduces tissue damage ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

But last week a new-type electron microscope in Toulouse, France, was taking pictures of bacteria that are still alive and reasonably healthy. An electron microscope works by shooting electrons ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered—which ...

A new study published in Nature Communications reveals a novel approach to mitigating tissue damage caused by Streptococcus ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

This scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows a mouse skin infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (pseudocolored purple). The bacterium, known as flesh-eating bacteria, has aggressively ...

There's three types of microscope: light, like this one here, and two types of electron microscopes, like those ones over there. Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small ...

Scanning electron microscopy, or SEM ... Since sourdough starters are created from wild yeast and bacteria in the flour, it ...
