Bacteria are among the most diverse and ancient forms of life on Earth. Yet, much of what is known about them comes from a ...

When a single bacterial cell divides into two during periods of rapid growth, it doesn't split in half once it reaches a predetermined size. Instead, data has shown, a cell will divide once it has ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered surprising insights into a large, previously unstudied group of bacteria, ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse and ancient forms of life on Earth. Yet, much of what we know about them comes from a small group of species ...

The process of aging is associated with a decline in immune functions and persistent low-level inflammation. Now, researchers ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have made unexpected discoveries regarding a significant, previously unexamined group of ...

FtsZ and ZapA protein complex plays an important role in bacterial cell division. However, the structure of this complex was elusive. In this study, the researchers focused on the interaction of the ...

Bacterial cell wall synthesis and division represent central themes in microbiology, as these processes underpin cellular integrity, morphology and reproduction. The dynamic interplay between the ...

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 ...

Maurya, member of the Manchot Graduate School "Molecules of Infection IV" and lead author of the study: "Controlled from the cell nucleus, the protein ETP9 accumulates at the endosymbiont division ...
