Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers have used a powerful imaging technique to find what they believe may be the missing ...

When it comes to changing their passwords, bacteria are just as bad as you and me -- maybe even worse. A research team has found that despite 2.7 billion years of evolution, bacteria are still using ...

“When nutrients are lacking, yeast must stop expending the energy it takes to divide. To survive, they either enter a non-dividing, quiescent state, or they differentiate into spores,” stated Dr.

Sporulation preceded by meiosis was induced in young, diploid plants of Ulva mutabilis, mutant "slender" (Föyn). The induction was brought about either by replacement of the old culture medium (sea ...

Plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum were maintained in the dark on compressed (rolled) oats distributed over 1.5% agar plates. Following a 2 da growth period plasmodia were transferred to 1.5% agar ...

Dimethylation of histone H3 Arg2 (H3R2me2) maintains transcriptional silencing by inhibiting Set1 mediated trimethylation of H3K4. Here we demonstrate that Arg2 is also monomethylated (H3R2me1) in ...

PASADENA, Calif.—Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have used a ...
