They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

A study shows Bacillus subtilis balances growth and survival by slowing growth under stress, increasing antibiotic tolerance. The findings challenge assumptions about bacterial behavior and may guide ...

Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" shape—by keeping an enzyme at bay that would otherwise turn the cylindrical ...
