One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

Bacterial proliferation relies upon an exquisitely coordinated series of events that culminate in cell division and the remodelling of the peptidoglycan sacculus. Division begins with assembly of the ...

In most known bacterial species, cell division starts with the formation of the cytokinetic ring, the Z-ring, at the cell’s middle 1,2. In Escherichia coli, the Z-ring consists of FtsZ protofilaments ...

A research team led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in ...

A previously unknown mechanism of active matter self-organization essential for bacterial cell division follows the motto 'dying to align': Misaligned filaments 'die' spontaneously to form a ring ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii splitting into multiple cells at once, a rare kind of cell division called multiple fission. C. matruchotii is one of the most common bacteria ...

A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance ...

Among the more than 500 species of bacteria that thrive in the human mouth, one seems to play by its own rules. This video shows one Corynebacterium matruchotii bacterium dividing into many daughter ...
