Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

Some help in human health, while others help to ensure the overall function of various ... the different bacteria. There are various structures within a bacterial cell, all of which play a role ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Bacteria naturally present in the human intestine, known as the gut microbiota, can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into powerful metabolites that strengthen anti-cancer immunity by blocking ...

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...
