Understanding how bacteria form communities on surfaces, including biofilms, has significant implications for both health and ...

A new bacteria-inspired robot uses 12 spinning arms to move around the same way bacteria does and scientists want to make it ...

Hebrew University scientists led by Professors Sigal Ben-Yehuda and Ilan Rosenshine found that the rotation of the bacteria's tail-like flagella acts as a mechanical signal triggering the ...

Copper is an essential enzyme cofactor in bacteria, but excess copper is highly toxic ... In the chemotaxis signaling pathway, CheA transfers the phosphate group to the response regulator CheY to ...

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

The study shows that in liquid environments, where bacteria rely on movement to navigate, the rotation of flagella acts as a mechanical signal that turns on a set of genes required for DNA transfer.

The research team discovered that the rotation of flagella in Bacillus subtilis acts as a mechanical signal that activates key conjugation genes. This enables donor bacteria to form clusters with ...

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 ...
