Genomes sequenced: Bugs within mealybugs; and bugs within bugs within mealybugs
In the case of sap-feeding insects, intimate associations with Microbes offer a source for essential nutrients that their sugary diets just don't include. Now, researchers have new insight into organi
Battle of the microbes: Pseudomonas breaches cell walls of rival bacteria without hurting itself
Microbiologists have uncovered a sneaky trick by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa to oust its competitors. Its means of attack helps it survive in the outside environment and may even help it cause infection. P. aeruginosa injects toxins into rival bacteria through a needle-like structure. The toxins degrade their competitors' protective barriers -- their cell walls.
