One of the worries about microplastic particle pollution is the possibility that the particles may accumulate harmful ...

Scientists at the University of Stirling have developed a new method of monitoring the presence of pathogens in rivers ...

Many types of Gram-positive bacteria cause diseases that require specific antibiotics. These oval or spherical bacteria are among the most common types of bacteria known. They can live in pairs ...

There are technically five classes of bacteria, with each group based on their shape: rod (bacilli) corkscrew (spirochaetes) comma (vibrios) spiral (spirilla) spherical (cocci) Bacteria are also ...

Up to now, scientists believed that this molecule forms spiral structures on the inside of the cell membrane in non-spherical bacteria, which serve as a scaffold for the assembly of the ...

They found that the wings of the Diplacodes bipunctata or Wandering Percher dragonfly were even more deadly, killing both rod-shaped and spherical bacteria. The surface structure of black silicon ...
