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

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers uncovered how sodium ions drive bacterial flagellar motors, revealing key ...

The findings of this study could have important medical implications. "Flagellar-based movement is involved in infections and toxicity of some species of pathogenic bacteria. One motivation behind ...

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

"Flagellar-based movement is involved in infections and toxicity of some species of pathogenic bacteria. One motivation behind this study was finding ways of inactivating such bacteria by ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is thought to be due to activity of these threads, either by themselves or twisted into a tail.

Examples include helmets that detect impact and immediately send a signal; wrist guards that detect movement; and devices that send rescue signals, even underwater. Since it does not require a battery ...

In this review, the roles of host glycosylation in interactions with two prevalent bacterial pathogens, Campylobater jejuni and Helicobacter pylori, are discussed to illustrate important concepts in ...
