Understanding how bacteria form communities on surfaces, including biofilms, has significant implications for both health and ...

"This process of DNA transfer, called bacterial conjugation, has long been studied on solid surfaces," said Prof. Ben-Yehuda. "What we found is that in liquid, it's the rotation of the flagella ...

A new study from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how bacterial motion influences ...

The research team discovered that the rotation of flagella in Bacillus subtilis acts as a mechanical signal that activates key conjugation genes. This enables donor bacteria to form clusters with ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that bacterial movement plays a central role in the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. The research team discovered that the rotation ...

and bacterial products such as metabolites and flagellin induce host IL-22. In an article published in Cell Reports, Nagler’s team demonstrated that Clostridia-produced flagella and indole, a ...

While questions remain about how common bacterial nanotubes are and what they do ... injectisomes that transfer virulence proteins, and flagella that power swimming in many microbes. Sruthi S.
