Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

Some microbes can squeeze through tight spaces by wrapping themselves in their flagellum—the tail-like structure they use to ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Prof. HE Yongxing's research group from Lanzhou ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is an intricate, rotary nanomachine that underpins bacterial motility, enabling cells to navigate complex environments. This highly sophisticated system harnesses the ...

Scientists mapped the bacterial flagellum in atomic detail, revealing it as a target to disarm infections without killing bacteria or driving antibiotic resistance. (Nanowerk News) The ‘molecular ...

How can bacteria squeeze through spaces narrower than a human hair is thick? A research team in Japan led by Dr. Daisuke ...

Motile bacteria move through the function of flagella. These appendages rotate, which propels an organism forwards. This is a little like the propellers on a boat. Some bacteria have one flagellum, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper investigates further the question of whether the flagella of Proteus mirabilis emerge from basal bodies. The bacteria were grown to ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...
