For bacteria, a small genome means some serious decluttering — even in the ribosome

Scienmag

Researchers from Skoltech, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and the Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems have studied the genomes of some 200 strains of bacteria to determine which proteins in the ribosome, part of the key cell machinery, can be safely lost and why.

Antibiotic resistance may spread even more easily than expected

Scienmag

Credit: Jan Zrimec/Chalmers University of Technology Pathogenic bacteria in humans are developing resistance to antibiotics much faster than expected. Now, computational research at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that one reason could be significant genetic transfer between bacteria in our ecosystems and to humans.
