A research group has discovered an interesting way that bacteria adapt to their environment. Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their ...

New research from Indiana University has uncovered a previously unknown vulnerability in how bacteria build the whip-like tails they use to move. The researchers found that building these tails can ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

The sheathed flagellum of Vibrio choleraeis a self-assembling membranous organelle that coordinates flagellar assembly, sheath biogenesis, and rapid rotation. Here, we determine in-situ near-atomic ...

Osaka — Many bacteria are equipped with a flagellum, a helical propeller that allows bacteria to travel. The flagellum is assembled in a highly organized manner involving the stepwise addition of each ...

Mike Manson has spent 50 years at Texas A&M studying the bacterial flagellar motor - a molecular machine that spins hundreds of times per second, outpacing a race car's spinning crankshaft, to drive ...

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

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 ...

New research from the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington has uncovered a previously unknown vulnerability in how bacteria build the whip-like tails they use to move. These ...

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 ...
