2023 Elsevier LtdFor bacteria to increase in size, they need to enzymatically expand their cell envelopes, and more concretely their peptidoglycan cell wall. A major task of growth is to increase intracellular space for the accumulation of macromolecules, notably proteins, RNA, and DNA. Here, we...
It is simpler to recognize bacteria using this classification system based on their general look (shape) and growth requirements. On the other hand, Gram staining enables the identification of the peptidoglycan type of bacteria. Morphology and Classification They have four primary shapes: spiral, arc...
The rationale is that resistance development would require the simultaneous occurrence of multiple mutations. However, this approach has its challenges, as it assumes that single mutations offer minimal or no advantage to bacteria. These single mutations are often found in natural bacterial populations,...
Residues may remain in fish used for human consumption and antibiotics released into the environment can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the food chain. The accumulation of waste feeds in ponds stimulates the growth of bacteria, including human pathogens, which can ...

To address the structural biological blind spot with regards to FAs, we pursued the structure of the model bacterial FA curli. Curli fibers are a major component of the extracellular matrix of Gram-negative bacteria and are expressed under biofilm forming conditions where they fulfill a scaffolding...

As a plant grows into a humus soil, bacteria and fungi colonize the roots and live off of root exudates. This is the stuff that sloughs off of the root as it penetrates the soil. There are more than 100,000 species of these microbes, and many of them work with specific plant species...

Bringing these elements together magnifies their healing qualities, fosters the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi, and creates powerfully concentrated substances to guide the development of the compost. A small quantity of each preparation is added to the compost pil...
