Moreover, the detection of a stretch of bacterial DNA cannot differentiate between dead and alive bacterial cells ... direct transfer to a MALDI target plate. Several simple MALDI mass ...

Before we understood that DNA was the genetic code, scientists knew that bacteria transferred it between cells. In 1928 ... This DNA-sharing process, known as horizontal or lateral gene transfer (LGT) ...

“It really does seem that human genome sequence data from somatic cells show signs of LGT events from bacteria, and so do cancer cells,” said Jonathan Eisen from University of California, Davis, who ...

In contrast to humans, bacteria have the remarkable ability to exchange genetic material with one another. A well-known example with far-reaching consequences is the transfer of antibiotic ...

They found that anodic porous alumina (APA) surfaces prepared using electrochemistry in concentrated sulfuric acid had unprecedented resistance to bacterial growth, but did not hamper cell cultures.

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial ...

The Technion researchers' study describes an evolutionary scenario where protection arises from a reduced level of tRNA (transfer RNA ... from entering the bacterial cell but halts the formation ...
