An illustration of the 3D printed model of spiral-shaped bacteria made by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Using particle tracking and imaging techniques, the researchers measured ...

Bacteria are particularly ingenious when it comes to survival strategies. They often create a biofilm to protect themselves from a hostile environment, for example during treatment with antibiotics, ...

Scientists have constructed a high-resolution 3D model that shows what happens when a bacterial motor switches directions. Nagoya University scientists in Japan and colleagues at Yale University in ...

Researchers have developed a 3D printing system that prints bacteria in an immobile gel. Bacteria can produce and modify chemicals predictably and reproducibly. This technology will allow the creation ...

The anaerobic bacteria P. aeruginosa formed biofilms in thick constructs. Left: Photos of the 3D bioprinted biofilm at day 0 and matured biofilm at day 14 (scale bar: 1 cm). Right: 2D projection and ...

Vibrio bacteria are rod-shaped organisms that live in coastal waters. They can cause serious intestinal and soft tissue infections that can ultimately lead to septic shock and multiple organ failure.

Nagoya University scientists in Japan and colleagues at Yale University in the US have uncovered details of how the bacterial propeller, known as the flagellum, switches between counterclockwise and ...
