Scientists have documented the way a single gene in the bacterium that causes bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, allowed it to ...

An invasive tick species in Connecticut has been found to carry the bacteria that can cause ehrlichiosis in humans, a ...

Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the species' survival over many generations. However, we have shown that bacterial ...

Artificial bacterial flagella (ABFs) consist of helical tails resembling natural ... Finally, swarm-like behavior of multiple ABFs controlled as a single entity is demonstrated. You may have access to ...

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections ...

Therefore, given the ease of fabrication, the use of multiple offset flexible flagella is a potential method to achieve increased thrust force in artificial bacteria flagella.

coli bacteria were bioengineered to display arginine–lysine ... This process could be repeated to generate multiple layers of flagella. Flagella with glutamic acid–aspartic acid peptide loops were ...

University of Virginia Cancer Center researchers have explained the failure of immune checkpoint therapy for ovarian cancer by discovering how gut bacteria interfere with the treatment. Doctors may be ...

This important study describes the discovery of a mechanism by which multiple species of bacteria synthesize and localize polar flagella via a novel protein, FipA, which interacts with FlhF. The ...

matruchotii that might drive its strange growth and division is that it lacks a flagellum; the whip-like appendage other bacteria use to get around ... rapid growth by tip extension and simultaneous ...

The filamentous bacterium doesn't just divide, it splits into multiple cells at once ... matruchotii lack flagella, the organelles that allow bacteria to move around. Since these bacteria can ...
