Microbes make a home among the starch grains of your sourdough starter. Daniel Veghte, CC BY-SA Sourdough is the oldest kind of leavened bread in recorded history, and people have been eating it for ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller features, and electron microscopy resolves small structures, but samples ...

D microscopy shows that the giant bacterium Thiovulum imperiosus squeezes its DNA into peripheral pouches, not a central mass ...

Scientists have discovered a strange tubular structure inside Profftella, a symbiotic bacterium in the Asian citrus psyllid. These long, helical tubes, filled with ribosomes, show a complexity not ...

Attachment of a bacterial protein to the tips of phage tails produces non-infectious, tailless phages. “Many of these bacterial systems have been shown to be the evolutionary origin of different human ...

Sourdough is the oldest kind of leavened bread in recorded history, and people have been eating it for thousands of years. The components of creating a sourdough starter are very simple – flour and ...
