which can swim freely using their whip-like tails known as "flagella," MMB have some communicating to do in order to move.

Among the most important PAMPs is flagellin, the main protein in bacterial flagella—the whip-like structures bacteria use to propel themselves. "Early detection of the enemy is a central tenet of an ...

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.

Dr. Pushkar Lele received a National Institute of General Medical Sciences research grant to investigate how bacteria sense their mechanical environment.

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 ...

Among the various mechanosensors of interest to the team, one is located in the slender appendages known as flagella, which power bacterial swimming. One of the group's objectives is to determine ...

A bacteria-inspired robot named ZodiAq that swims using flexible flagella—just like microbes do. It’s slow, smart, and surprisingly delicate for something with twelve spinning limbs.

1988). In addition to magnetosomes and magnetic nanoparticles, magnetotactic bacteria also have a flagellum, which they use for mobility. Magnetotactic bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms ...

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 ...
