Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

A 3D rendering captured with a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine "cables" as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. Scale bars are included.

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that ...

Let's take a look at how to observe cells under a microscope. No prizes for guessing the first thing you'll need: a microscope. But don't worry if you don't have one of your own. Ask your school ...

The names themselves date back to 1884, when Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram developed a staining procedure to view bacteria under the microscope. First, he applied a dye, called gentian ...

They performed density gradient centrifugation to separate phages from bacterial lysates and found that the bacteria that expressed Bil produced a higher density band in the gradient. When the ...
