New organisms have been engineered using the first ever 6-letter genetic code
Scientists have engineered the first ever ‘semi-synthetic’ organisms, by breeding E. coli bacteria with an expanded, six-letter genetic code. While every living thing on Earth is formed according to a DNA code made up of four bases , these modified E. coli carry an entirely new type of DNA, with two additional DNA bases, X and Y, nestled in their genetic code.

Sex Without Urinary Tract Infection: Keeping It Clean
Prevention of urinary tract infections has become so important, as we all find ourselves in the middle of what infectious disease experts have termed a “stealth pandemic” of Escherichia coli sequence type 131 that is resistant to some very potent antibiotics. Generally speaking, E coli is responsible for at least 80% of the 7 million uncomplicated outpatient UTIs that occur yearly in the United States.

New Insights into the Dynamics of Swarming Bacteria: A Theoretical Study
In the present work we simulate the basic two-dimensional dynamics of swarming E. coli bacteria on the surface of a moderately soft agar plate. Individual bacteria are modelled by self-propelled ridged bodies , which interact with each other only through inelastic collision and with the highly viscous environment through damping forces.
