In laboratories, bacteria are often kept in pure culture. In the natural environment, however, they live together in complex and well-structured bacterial communities. These play a major role in the ...

Nassau County has told residents they shouldn’t swim at a list of over a dozen public beaches 11 times this summer.

Several beaches in Metro Vancouver have a swimming advisory in effect due to high levels of E. coli. They include Second ...

Bacteria that cause intestinal infections typically avoid a stinky chemical—one that can kill them at high enough ...

Likewise, one species of bacteria forms dynamic, living crystals, says new research from Rockefeller University. Biophysicists have revealed that fast-swimming, sulfur-eating microbes known as ...

Light-reactive swimming bacteria can be controlled to form different shapes. A team of researchers from Rome University (Italy) has engineered Escherichia coli to produce a protein called ...

But they’re also the likeliest types of bacteria you’ll encounter in a swimming hole, thanks to fecal contamination from humans or, more likely, animals, Sullivan says.

Swimming bacteria and spermatozoa use whip-like flagella to propel themselves. The findings show the tiny swimmers are able to increase their speed while consuming less energy because of the ...

Swimming bacteria can reduce the viscosity of ordinary liquids like water and make them flow more easily, sometimes down to the point where the viscosity becomes zero: the flow is then frictionless.
