A new study from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how bacterial motion influences ...

An underwater drone with long, spinning arms like the flagella of bacteria could survey the seas without endangering marine life, its creators claim ...

In the microscopic battlefield of plant-microbe interactions, plants are constantly fighting off invading bacteria. New research reveals just how clever these bacterial invaders can be.

Diplomonads have multiple flagella, two unfused haploid nuclei and reduced mitochondria. Otherwise, they are very diverse, including a wide variety of pathogens and several free-living forms.

and bacterial products such as metabolites and flagellin induce host IL-22. In an article published in Cell Reports, Nagler’s team demonstrated that Clostridia-produced flagella and indole, a ...

1988). In addition to magnetosomes and magnetic nanoparticles, magnetotactic bacteria also have a flagellum, which they use for mobility. Magnetotactic bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms ...

Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria's "motor," preventing it from spreading through the body. The findings could ...

Bacteria with flagella, or spinning tails, can move up to a hundred times their body length in a second—a large fish can only move about ten times its body length in a second. The strongest ...

"This process of DNA transfer, called bacterial conjugation, has long been studied on solid surfaces," said Prof. Ben-Yehuda. "What we found is that in liquid, it's the rotation of the flagella ...
