In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been investigated by a research team led by Stefan Karpitschka, group leader at the MPI-DS and ...

have now presented another of these rare bacterial predators: the filamentous marine bacterium Aureispira. Among the ...

Dozens of surfers fell ill after swimming in seas that turned into a ‘bacterial smoothie’ of sea foam in Australia. What was ...

A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered—which ...

The paper K. Fuchino et al., “Dynamic gradients of an intermediate filament-like cytoskeleton are recruited by a polarity landmark during apical growth,” PNAS, 110:1889-97, 2013. Although most ...

A recently identified bacterial protein structure is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems.

The effects Pulendran’s team found appeared to be mediated by Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), a molecule that mediates an immune reaction to flagellin, the protein which forms filamentous bacterial ...

Yakult Central Institute researchers collaborating with colleagues in Japan, the US and Germany, demonstrated, in laboratory studies, how segmented filamentous bacteria, which are found in the ...
