Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established ...

In other words, a bacterial cell reproduces by simply replicating its chromosome and dividing into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

adding that the behavior offers a versatile way to exert influence over everything from cell division to the intracellular positioning of organelles and even pathogens themselves. “That’s why various ...

The gene, which describes the protein FtsZ and marks the division site in bacteria and most organelles, is one of the few remaining bacterial cell division genes. Maurya, member of the Manchot ...

The effect of saccharin on the microbiome has received much attention, but its impact on pathogenic bacterial species is less clear. This study reports the potential of saccharin to be developed as a ...

That may be because bacterial histones are smaller ... binding could straighten the strands and protect the DNA from over-compression during division into smaller cells. Indeed, straightened DNA ...
