Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 56, No. 1 (2011), pp. 37-48 (12 pages) Flow cytometric determinations of membrane integrity, nucleic acid content, and respiratory activity were combined with dilution ...
MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...
Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...
PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...
