Archaea use flagella known as archaella—distinct both in protein composition and structure from bacterial flagella—to drive cell motility, but the structural basis of this function is unknown. Here, ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

SOME cilia and flagella beat in a complex three-dimensional manner, and, in addition, the angular velocity at the tip is greater than at the base. Presumably the bundle of fibrils which make up a ...

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 ...

Many species of swimming bacteria have a rotary structure called a "flagellum," consisting of more than twenty different kinds of proteins. By rotating their flagellar filaments and gaining propulsion ...

Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

A tiny but powerful engine that propels the bacterium Bacillus subtilis through liquids is disengaged from the corkscrew-like flagellum by a protein clutch, scientists have learned. Scientists have ...

When headed the wrong way, some bacteria turn by letting their propellers flop. The newly discovered turning mechanism explains how a marine bacterium can control its direction using only a single ...
