A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool ... Lariocidin, a peptide made by bacteria living in soil, was effective against several different microbes responsible for deadly ...

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

Antimicrobial molecule discovered in soil from lab technician’s garden — plus, a huge study assessing the nuances of humans’ impacts on biodiversity.

Spirochetes are thin, corkscrew-shaped bacteria that spiral through body tissues using a hidden propeller-like motor, protected by a membrane that shields it from the host's immune system.

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria -- including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax -- form spores for survival.

Predator-prey relationships are found in virtually all ecosystems. Even microorganisms in their world, which is invisible to the naked eye, engage in these interactions when fighting for the survival ...

That distinct lasso shape is what the group of peptides was named after. Many lasso peptides show some amount of antimicrobial activity, but lariocidin is unique in that it kills bacteria by ...

You gotta catch them all, and one person just caught a hot Cheeto shaped like an iconic Pokemon character for a hefty price. Shaped like the character Charizard, and nicknamed Cheetozard ...

Researchers have identified a boat-shaped mound in Turkey's Durupinar Formation, which has long been associated with the biblical story of Noah's Ark, The Jerusalem Post reported. The mound ...
