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 ...

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

Named Nocardiae, these microbes are filamentous bacteria that can cause foaming in wastewater treatment plants, particularly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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