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. Movement lets bacteria ...

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 ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is an intricate, rotary nanomachine that underpins bacterial motility, enabling cells to navigate complex environments. This highly sophisticated system harnesses the ...

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 ...

Osaka University researchers develop methods to detect pH in vivo, and elucidate phenomena driving protein export in biological activities Osaka, Japan - Bacterial cellular membranes protrude to form ...

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. Movement lets bacteria ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper investigates further the question of whether the flagella of Proteus mirabilis emerge from basal bodies. The bacteria were grown to ...

Research led by the University of Auckland has cast light on the evolutionary origins of one of nature's first motors, which developed 3.5 billion to 4 billion years ago to propel bacteria. Subscribe ...

Bacteria are able to translocate by a variety of mechanisms, independently or in combination, utilizing flagella or filopodia to swim, by amoeboid movement, or by gliding, twitching, or swarming. They ...

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without ...
