Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a photophobic response (light avoidance) in the unicellular apusomonad ...
In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...
Some microbes can squeeze through tight spaces by wrapping themselves in their flagellum—the tail-like structure they use to ...
This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology’s most intensively studied molecular machines. Bacteria move through ...
