Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the ...

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 ...

Cholera is a deadly bacterial disease that kills about 95,000 people every year. Vibrio cholerae bacteria infect cells in the small intestine, which the bacteria can do in part due to their ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella — the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

Osaka University researchers develop methods to detect pH in vivo, and elucidate phenomena driving protein export in biological activities Osaka, Japan - Bacterial cellular membranes protrude to form ...

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, ...

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 ...

New mechanistic insights into the protein complex that powers the bacterial flagellum may assist antibiotic development. A study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) used ...

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 ...
