Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most ...

In a joint effort with various international institutions, researchers from the University of Innsbruck have described the movement patterns of the bacterium Escherichia coli. To do so, they used an ...

Confocal micrograph of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). Fluorescent proteins (TagRFP-T, mCherry, sfGFP, TagBFP, CFP and YFP), time-lapse confocal microscopy and biophysical models are being ...

A transmission electron microscope image shows Escherichia coli bacteria in various stages of degradation after exposure to light-activated molecular drills developed at Rice University. The machines ...

A team of researchers including Gavin King is challenging prior theories about how material leaves the inside of an E.coli cell. This discovery could have important implications for how we treat ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...
