Researchers have determined a protein’s essential role in bacterial envelope structure and function, which could inspire a search for better antibiotics. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (MD, ...

Researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the germ's shape. Because the integrity of a bacterial cell's 'envelope' ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Bacteria build nanoweapons when their cell envelope is damaged, striking back with precision. Researchers triggered this response using an ultra-sharp tip. (Nanowerk News) Some bacteria deploy tiny ...

The Cpx envelope stress response is a central regulatory mechanism in Escherichia coli and related Gram-negative pathogens, orchestrating the detection and remediation of damage to the bacterial cell ...

The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of harmful ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria ...
