Bacteria communicate by touch, new research suggests
What if bacteria could talk to each other? What if they had a sense of touch? A new study suggests both, and theorizes that such cells may, in fact, need to communicate in order to perform certain fun
Some bacteria attack using spring-loaded poison daggers
Bacteria have evolved different systems for secreting proteins. One, called a type VI secretion system, is found in about a quarter of all bacteria with two membranes. Despite being common, researcher
In vino veritas: Promiscuous yeast hook up in wine-making vats
Humans aren't the only species that like to get busy with a glass of bubbly. Turns out, the common baker's yeast has indulged in a frenzy of amorous frolicking in the fermentation vats of winemakers f
Is fructose being blamed unfairly for obesity epidemic?
Is fructose being unfairly blamed for the obesity epidemic? Or do we just eat and drink too many calories? Researchers reviewed more than 40 published studies on whether the fructose molecule itself c
Fruit flies use alcohol as a drug to kill parasites
Fruit flies infected with a blood-borne parasite consume alcohol to self-medicate, a behavior that greatly increases their survival rate, a new study finds. The researchers say the results are the fir
Microbial oasis discovered beneath the Atacama Desert
Two meters below the surface of the Atacama Desert there is an 'oasis' of microorganisms. Researchers have found it in hypersaline substrates thanks to SOLID, a detector for signs of life which could
Obstacles no barrier to higher speeds for worms
Obstacles in an organism's path can help it to move faster, not slower, researchers have found through a series of experiments and computer simulations. Their findings have implications for a better u
Honey could be effective at treating and preventing wound infections
Manuka honey could help clear chronic wound infections and even prevent them from developing in the first place, according to a new study. The findings provide further evidence for the clinical use of
Heart of silk: Scientists use silk from the tasar silkworm as a scaffold for heart tissue
Damaged human heart muscle cannot be regenerated. Scar tissue grows in place of the damaged muscle cells. Scientists are seeking to restore complete cardiac function with the help of artificial cardia
Under the electron microscope: 3-D image of an individual protein showing structure
Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure.
Badwater Basin: Death Valley microbe may spark novel biotech and nanotech uses
Nevada, the "Silver State," is well-known for mining precious metals. But some scientists do a different type of mining. They sluice through every water body they can find, looking for new f
Living 'neon signs' composed of millions of glowing bacteria
In an example of life imitating art, biologists and bioengineers have created a living neon sign composed of millions of bacterial cells that periodically fluoresce in unison like blinking light bulbs
New method reveals parts of bacterial genome essential to life
A research team has cataloged, down to the letter, exactly what parts of the genetic code are essential for survival in one bacterial species, Caulobacter crescentus. They found that 12 percent of the
Simple way to grow muscle tissue with real muscle structure
Researchers have found a simple way to grow muscle tissue with a real muscle structure in the laboratory. They found that the muscle cells automatically align themselves if they are subjected to tensi
Yeast's epic journey 500 years ago gave rise to lager beer
An international team of researchers believes it has identified the wild yeast that, in the age of sail, apparently traveled more than 7,000 miles to make a fortuitous microbial match that today under
Parasite-infected rodents attracted to cat odor
New research shows how a brain parasite can manipulate rodent fear responses for the parasite's own benefit. The single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii makes infected rodents more likely to spend ti
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
Scientist develops virus that targets HIV: Using a virus to kill a virus
In what represents an important step toward curing HIV, a scientist has created a virus that hunts down HIV-infected cells.
Bacteria use Batman-like grappling hooks to 'slingshot' on surfaces, study shows
Researchers have diagnosed a complex sequence of movements that make-up the "twitching" motility in bacteria with type IV pili (TFP). TFP act like Batman's grappling hooks that extend and bind to a surface to retract and pull the cell along. Using a high-speed camera and a novel two-point tracking algorithm, researchers also noticed the bacteria had the additional capability to "sli
