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 ...

Research scientist Bradley Lusk, first author of the study, was curious about what happens to protons in the microenvironments of these bacteria during biodegradation: “If you produce too many ...

Some types form long filaments composed of a few to more than 1,000 individual cells. In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been ...

The presence of segmented filamentous bacteria, a commensal microbe present in some mice, reprograms AM gene expression, increasing complement expression and phagocytosis, thereby enabling AM to ...
