Researchers observed that rotating flagella triggered gene expression in donor cells, prompting them to form clusters with recipient bacteria. These clusters bring cells into close contact and ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that bacterial movement plays a central role in the transfer of ...

A new study from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how bacterial motion influences ...

An underwater drone with long, spinning arms like the flagella of bacteria could survey the seas without endangering marine ...

B. subtilis spores are stable across a wide temperature range, which reduces the cost of storage and transportation.

Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria’s "motor" ...

As I perused the latest edition of Georgetown’s leading publication — the Stall Seat Journal — I was pleased to see a brief ...

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 ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined biological environments. A team of researchers at the (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart has ...

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim ...

In nature, the ten-micron small, single-cell microalgae are fantastic swimmers, propelled by their two whip-like flagella at the front. However, it wasn't clear what would happen if scientists ...
