Researchers reveal transformation of colon organoids in vitro. Escherichia coli bacteria are constitutive members of the human gut microbiota. However, some strains produce a genotoxin called ...

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that might lead to new drugs or virus-resistant microbes ...

The process of bacterial transformation involves the introduction of foreign plasmid DNA into a bacterial cell. The transformation of DNA into bacteria cells, for example, Escherichia coli (E ...

The recoded bacterium uses only 57 of the 64 possible genetic codes, freeing up seven to be used for different purposes ...

When competent E. coli cells were transformed with plasmid DNA in the presence of different concentrations (up to 10% v/v) of ethanol, the transformation efficiency (TR)E decreased gradually with ...

A palm-sized device developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo could help save lives and reduce illness by ...

Researchers say E. coli Nissle may protect human cells against other more pathogenic strains of E. coli such as E. coli 0157:H7, which is commonly associated with contaminated hamburger meat.

An E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounders has caused illnesses across 10 states. What to know about the bacteria.

Certain strains of E. coli, a bacteria commonly associated with food poisoning, can lead to painful urinary infections.
