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 ...

PHYSICOCHEMICAL characterization of components of flagella and cilia is essential for an understanding of the mechanisms underlying flagellar and ciliary movement. The so-called “9 + 2” fibres ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

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 covered ...
