Bacteria need to be able to adapt to the changing and challenging environments in which they live to survive and multiply. One of the genetic processes by which they do this is transduction. In this ...

The three most common ways that bacteria diversify their DNA are transformation, conjugation, and transduction. However, not all types of bacterial cells are capable of engaging in all three ...

On Thursday April 1, the Department of Biology hosted Niels Ringstad, professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the New ...

Although sweat itself doesn't smell, it contains a nutritious broth of salts, glucose, vitamins and amino acids, which serves as an all-you-can-eat buffet for bacteria that live there. And there a ...

In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages ... This process is known as transduction.

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria -- including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax -- form spores for survival. Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria ...

Probiotic bacteria interact with the gut microbiome ... such as proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. The study ...
