Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive ...

In order to insert this information into the genomes of bacteria, the researchers transferred the image and the movie onto nucleotides (building blocks of DNA), producing a code that related to ...

The researchers converted the individual pixels of each image into nucleotides ... collect the bacteria, and sequence the DNA to see what information has been picked up along the way.

However, the GIF information is widely distributed among a population of bacteria — no individual cell can be used to reconstruct the entire image series. Therefore, we leveraged many single ...

bacteria, certain insects and other microscopic critters from causing all sorts of misery. But under the microscope, we can see them for what they truly are. This image, made using a scanning ...
