Caption During the replication of the bacterial chromosome, genes close to the replication start point (red) exist in multiple copies, while genes close to the endpoint do not (blue). At faster ...

Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, which is held by a majority of researchers, has now been disputed by a team of ...

However, these are not the only ways that bacteria can respond under stress. Bacteria can change the order of genes on their chromosome (the chromosome structure) and/or the three-dimensional ...

More Ticks Carry Lyme Disease Bacteria in Pheasant-Release Areas Apr. 21, 2025 — Ticks are more likely to carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in areas where pheasants are released ...

Saccharin is the market leader among artificial ... near the chromosome origin. Saccharin treatment resulted in a loss of cell morphology and filamentation in E. coli. Bacterial cells filament ...

The mechanisms underlying bacterial chromosome configuration are not fully understood. Here, Spahn et al. show that the Escherichia coli nucleoid adopts a condensed, membrane-proximal ...

coli bacteria than has ever been done before. With the aid of the latest generation of sequencing technology, they studied the complete chromosomes and plasmids present in 2000 samples from ...

Led by a team from Brunel University in the UK, the researchers behind the study ran controlled lab tests to see how saccharin, a common artificial sweetener, interacted with bacteria. We know the ...
