Historically, bacteria were classified by their ability to retain the Gram stain 1. Following the development of electron microscopy, the actual structure of the bacterial cell envelope became ...

Scientists have long searched for the answer to the question of how bacteria decide to cease normal function and form a spore, which in essence means death for the microbe. Bioengineering researchers ...

When it comes to changing their passwords, bacteria are just as bad as you and me -- maybe even worse. A research team has found that despite 2.7 billion years of evolution, bacteria are still using ...

The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, depends on two fungi, Grosmannia clavigera and Ophiostoma montium, to augment a nutrient-poor woody food resource. Because the two fungi exert ...

Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers have used a powerful imaging technique to find what they believe may be the missing ...

“When nutrients are lacking, yeast must stop expending the energy it takes to divide. To survive, they either enter a non-dividing, quiescent state, or they differentiate into spores,” stated Dr.

La sporulation désigne le mécanisme de formation et de libération des spores. Un moyen de reproduction Celle-ci intervient pour un grand nombre d'espèces végétales, bactériennes et de champignons, ...
