In labs, bacterial colonies usually grow in streaks in petri dishes, but until now no one has known how the colonies organize themselves in more realistic three-dimensional (3-D) environments, such as ...

New insights into how some bacteria survive antibiotics could lead to the development of novel treatment strategies. Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with ...

Bacterial colonies are far more than simple "piles of cells." They are dynamic, multicellular-like systems characterized by intricate spatial organization, functional differentiation, and coordinated ...

Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with antibiotics, according to a study published today in eLife. The results show that fast-growing individuals within ...

Little ones grow so fast. Still, researchers at the University of Warwick were surprised by just how quickly their bacteria blossomed when growing along a microscopic meniscus. Microstructures can ...

Bacteria aren't just mindless microbes. New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that single bacterial cells can carry a "memory" of their past environments-passing it down through ...
