The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...
Filamentous cyanobacteria buckle at a certain length when they encounter an obstacle. The results provide an important basis for the use of cyanobacteria in modern biotechnology. Cyanobacteria are one ...
(a) Optical photograph of a soft-bodied macrofossil (specimen No. cy266) of unknown affinity, with abundant filamentous microfossils of Q. cambria (b–g) present on the surface. (b) SEM image of ...
In a study published recently in the journal Small ("Fabrication of Electronically Conductive Protein-Heme Nanowires for Power Harvesting"), researchers revealed that protein nanowires – which were ...
The paper K. Fuchino et al., “Dynamic gradients of an intermediate filament-like cytoskeleton are recruited by a polarity landmark during apical growth,” PNAS, 110:1889-97, 2013. Although most ...
This picture illustrates an example of gut microbiota composition dictating how resident lung alveolar macrophages (AM) respond to viral infection. The presence of segmented filamentous bacteria, a ...
Scientists have uncovered how cyanobacteria—Earth's first photosynthetic organisms—self-organize into intricate living mats, offering insights into aquatic ecosystems and potential inspiration for ...
Cyanobacteria are one of the oldest and most important life forms in the world – for example as they took an essential part in producing the oxygen in our atmosphere. Some types form long filaments ...
