Discovery of controlled swarm in bacteria
A study led by researchers from UAB describes one of the mechanisms in which pathogenic bacteria populations control the way they spread over the surface of the organs they infect and stop when they detect the presence of an antibiotic, only to resume again when the effect wears off....
New protein extreme identification methods
Researchers at University of Ghent, Belgium, and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona developed a new procedure to identify the two extremes of protein molecules and their processing and maturing in in-vivo and ex-vivo massive proteomic studies. The research has been published online...
Nitrogen deposition in rural areas of Catalonia, near the threshold for adverse effects on forests
Nitrogen is an essential element for life. Its natural cycle in the biosphere has been modified by human activity, increasing emissions of nitrogen compounds. This study evaluates the nitrogen...
Infection inducing mechanism found in bacteria
A research appearing in Nature, with the participation of doctors Susana Campoy and Jordi Barbé from the Department of Genetics and Microbiology at UAB, demonstrates that bacteria have a surprising mechanism to transfer virulent genes causing infections. The research...
Migratory behaviour affects the size of brains in birds
Researchers at Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications (CREAF, a UAB-affiliated centre) shed new light on the evolution of brain size in birds. Scientists have known for some time that migratory birds have smaller brains than their resident...
