Differences in how researchers prepare and image samples can lead to discrepancies in their results.

Several labs have reported the formation of bacterial nanotubes under different, often contrasting conditions. What are these structures and why are they so hard to reproduce?

Biofilms are home to millions of microbes, but disrupting their interactions could produce more effective antibiotics.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

A device dubbed the “mother machine” enables real-time observation of mutagenesis in single bacterial cells.  

Identification of new archaea species elucidates the domain’s unique  biology and sheds light on its relationship to eukaryotes.
