Simulation of viral/bacterial pneumonia in a human lung tissue model. Spectral microscopy is used to visualize influenza viruses (green) inside the alveolar cells; attached to these, the pneumococcal ...

When confined in a water droplet, B. subtilis bacteria collectively and spontaneously form a swirling vortex, with some bacteria moving in one direction and others moving the opposite way. Researchers ...

Scientists discover 26 new bacterial species in NASA cleanrooms, revealing surprisingly resilient microbes with potential ...

Gram staining is one way scientists can identify bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, appear blue or purple under a microscope when scientists apply a stain. Conversely, ...
