Gluten-free bread gets a natural upgrade! A study shows sourdough, using specific bacteria, dramatically improves GF rice ...

Current approaches in bioengineering are synthesized and methods for their implementation are suggested for the induction and modulation of trained immunity in the treatment of human diseases.

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods ...

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order ...

To overcome these issues as well as get higher recognition accuracy, we proposed applying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) architectures to automatically classify bacterial species based on some ...

The main endophytic bacterial taxa at the phylum level were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Acidobacteriota, and Bacteroidota, which accounted for more than 90% of the total bacterial ...

The colony identification method is mainly based on the fact that different kinds of colonies and different concentrations of the same kind of colonies have different light-absorbing characteristics, ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to pinpoint single bacteria in a colony and to predict which ones will be resistant to antibiotics. This could be the beginning of the end for ...

Differential bacterial count included colony count of Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, and Lactobacillus. Decreased (p ≤0.05) Clostridium perfringens colony count was observed for treatment groups ...

Antibiotic resistance could be overcome if phage therapies were produced more efficiently, for example, through the use of recombitrons.

When phages infect a bacterial colony containing retrons, using the technique described in the team's new study, the phages integrate the retron-produced DNA sequences into their own genomes.
