Revised Estimates for the Number of Human and Bacteria Cells in the Body
bioRxiv, 2016 We critically revisit the “common knowledge” that bacteria outnumber human cells by a ratio of at least 10:1 in the human body. We found the total number of bacteria in the “reference man” to be 3.9·1013, with an uncertainty (SEM) of 25%, and a variation

Bacteria homologus to Aeromonas capable of microcystin degradation [PDF]
, 2014 Water blooms dominated by cyanobacteria are capable of producing hepatotoxins known as microcystins. These toxins are dangerous to people and to the environment. Therefore, for a better understanding of the biological termination of this increasingly

Working with bacteria and putting bacteria to work: The biopolitics of synthetic biology for energy in the United Kingdom [PDF]
, 2017 The UK government has made significant investment into so called ‘fourth-generation’ biofuel technologies. These biofuels are based on engineering the metabolic pathways of bacteria in order to create products compatible with existing infrastructure ...

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARYWork on two diverse rod-shaped bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, has defined a set of about 10 conserved proteins that are important for cell division in a wide range of eubacteria. These proteins are directed to the division site by the combination of two negative regulatory systems.

Necrotrophic growth of periodontopathogens is a novel virulence factor in oral biofilms [PDF]
, 2017 The oral use of antimicrobial agents embedded in toothpastes and mouth rinses results in an oral microbial massacre with high amounts of dead bacteria in close proximity to few surviving bacteria.
