Ben-Yehuda. "What we found is that in liquid, it's the rotation of the flagella that acts as a mechanical signal to kickstart this process." The study focused on pLS20, a widely distributed ...

The study used advanced imaging techniques to reconstruct the three-dimensional flow field surrounding sperm cells. The researchers discovered that as sperm swim, their flagellum (tail) generates a ...

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 ...

Berberine may be able to limit parasites. Berberine is thought to have antiprotozoal properties, meaning it can kill or inhibit the growth of protozoa. Berberine can cause interactions with other ...

Central to its ability to accelerate is a long strand called a flagella that is joined by a hook to the organism's motion-generating machinery. Built from self-assembled protein subunits called ...
