Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Under ideal conditions, bacterial cell proliferation is exponential, transforming an empty Petri dish into a lush “lawn” of growth. However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are ...

Microbial systems offer distinct advantages in protein expression, saving costs and time, and offering well-characterized host genetics and ease of scale-up. 2 However, challenges remain in process ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Dejun from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made significant strides in using synthetic microbial communities (SynCom) to ...
