Cholera is a deadly bacterial disease that kills about 95,000 people every year. Vibrio cholerae bacteria infect cells in the ...

Archaea use flagella known as archaella—distinct both in protein composition and structure from bacterial flagella—to drive cell motility, but the structural basis of this function is unknown. Here, ...
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 ...

Two new studies uncover unexpected ways that microbes move, offering insights that could impact our understanding of human ...
In a study published April 25 in Science Advances, researchers describe how components of a bacterial flagellum’s export ring are assembled. The export ring forms at the base of the flagellum and ...
Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Prof. HE Yongxing's research group from Lanzhou ...
New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella—the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria form ...
THREE years before his death in 1805, English philosopher William Paley proposed a now-famous thought experiment. Imagine discovering a watch on the heath: how would you explain its intricate ...
When headed the wrong way, some bacteria turn by letting their propellers flop. The newly discovered turning mechanism explains how a marine bacterium can control its direction using only a single ...
