The ability to move is key for bacteria like some strains of salmonella and E. coli to efficiently spread infections. They can propel themselves forward using threads, known as flagella, powered by ...

This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...

Scientists have now discovered and characterised the structure and function of a so far unknown Vibrio toxin. A team used the worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a predatory host for the bacteria and ...

New mechanistic insights into the protein complex that powers the bacterial flagellum may assist antibiotic development. A study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) used ...

Bacteria are single-celled organisms, and while we know they can move around with filaments, the exact mechanisms behind how they do so has been unclear for many years. Researchers have now used ...

A biohybrid microswimmer—a genetically engineered bacterium studded with nanoerythrosomes—can be loaded with molecular cargo, injected into the body, and sent on a delivery mission. For example, the ...

The flagellum is often cited as an example of natural design ingenuity -- it is a powerful nanomachine that allows bacteria to swim effortlessly in search of food. Yet despite being a popular object ...

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without ...
