Improved understanding of how bacterial defense mechanisms operate may help scientists select phages with the best chance of ...

The microbes that inhabit the gut are critical for human health, and understanding the factors that encourage the growth of beneficial bacterial species — known as "good" bacteria — in the gut ...

Bacterial transcription is a production line of copying over genetic instructions from double stranded DNA to produce RNA, which is then used for the subsequent production of proteins that the ...
