Research has revealed how bacteria rely on circadian clocks to control the spread of their multicellular colonies. The ...

Bacillus subtilis establishes multicellular communities known as biofilms through a finely tuned developmental programme that integrates environmental cues, cell–cell signalling and metabolic status.

During evolution, the ability of bacteria to adapt to evolving environments often results from the acquisition of new genes, and therefore new functions, through Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT). HGT, ...

A novel metabolic engineering strategy enhances riboflavin production by manipulating intracellular guanine levels through ...

The bacterium Bacillus subtilis can be found anywhere from soil to a human’s gastrointestinal tract. Known as hay or grass bacillus, B. subtilis is often used as an agricultural plant to deter pests.

Because natural resources are always limited, the right strategy decides about success in life. This also applies to spore-forming bacteria. Bacillus subtilis can survive unfavorable living conditions ...

Shakeable floating capsule detects TDS, wirelessly transmits data, and uses electroporation to disinfect drinking water ...
