Endomyxa comprises a diverse range of protists, including intracellular parasites that infect animals and plants, as well as ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater ...

Flagella are tiny, hair-like protrusions found ... “[Bacteria] have something called a biological motor, which rotates this elongated structure, and this elongated structure produces thrust ...

The flagellar motor has two key components: the rotor and the stators. The rotor, a large rotating structure anchored to the cell membrane, drives flagellum movement. The stators, smaller structures ...

This flagellar motor consists of two main components: the rotor and the stators. The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the flagellum. On the other hand, ...

This flagellar motor consists of two main components: the rotor and the stators. The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the flagellum. On the other hand ...

Both research groups wanted to uncover the exact molecular mechanisms behind this rotation reversal of the flagellum. ‘It has been known for decades that the rotation direction did change and … that ...

This is a thorough, beautiful and compelling study of the flagellar structure of the choanoflagellate S. rosetta as reconstituted by cryo-electron tomography (now one of the handful of eukaryotic ...

The resulting supercoiled structure is so stable it can withstand torsion stresses, retaining its curled shape while being spun – that is, until the flagellum changes spin direction. In E. coli, ...

Researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structure of bacteria's 'propellers ... have one or many appendages known as a flagellum, or, in the plural, flagella.
