Bacteria When Exposed to UV Light Found To Use Speargun-​Like Injection Systems

At Technology Networks, biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun-​like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used by the microbes for the interaction between cells and could one day be useful as tools in biomedicine.Many bacteria have sophisticated molecular injection…
