Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

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 ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

How can bacteria squeeze through spaces narrower than a human hair is thick? A research team in Japan led by Dr. Daisuke Nakane and Dr. Tetsuo Kan at ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

In a work published in Physical Review Letters, a research group led by Prof. YUAN Junhua and Prof. ZHANG Rongjing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy ...

Scientists have constructed a high-resolution 3D model that shows what happens when a bacterial motor switches directions. Nagoya University scientists in Japan and colleagues at Yale University in ...

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 ...

New mechanistic insights into the protein complex that powers the bacterial flagellum may assist antibiotic development. A study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) used ...
