Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...
Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Prof. HE Yongxing's research group from Lanzhou ...
New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella—the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Subscribe to our newsletter ...
How well bacteria move and sense their environment directly affects their success in surviving and spreading. About half of known bacteria species use a flagella to move — a rotating appendage that ...
In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...
Image: Stalks increase the rate of nutrient uptake by efficiently increasing cell surface area. The finding has potential implications for both ecology and drug production Bloomington, Ind. — The ...
Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...
