Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...

Electron microscopy images reveal crucial structures and mechanisms within the molecular machinery that certain bacteria use ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components—the rotor and stators. Despite ...

However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures--called flagella--that spin around to propel themselves ...
