Flagella are multiprotein complexes necessary for swimming and swarming motility. In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, flagella-mediated motility is repressed by the PhoP/PhoQ regulatory system ...

Flagella and cilia are used in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes for fast cell motility, rapid movement of material over cell surfaces, cell feeding and cell division. The structure of the ...

Professor Takayuki Nishizaka and Dr. Yoshiaki Kinosita from Gakushuin University, together with Dr. Yoshitomo Kikuchi (Senior Researcher) from AIST, have discovered an unforeseen form of ...

相关成果以“Flagellar evolution and flagella-independent motility in Actinobacteria”为题，发表于微生物前沿领域研究的权威期刊Trends in Microbiology 中国科学院南海海洋研究所热带海洋生物资源与生态重点实验室高贝乐研究员团队总结分析了放线菌鞭毛的退化性演化及其非鞭毛 ...

Many species of swimming bacteria have a rotary structure called a "flagellum," consisting of more than twenty different kinds of proteins. By rotating their flagellar filaments and gaining propulsion ...

The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a unicellular pathogen that causes lethal sleeping sickness in humans, which is a devastating and neglected tropical disease that is endemic to vast ...

When looking at bacteria, you typically see also flagella: long hairs that protrudes from the bacteria's body. The key function of the flagella is movement - what scientists call 'motility'. The ...

Bacteria are able to translocate by a variety of mechanisms, independently or in combination, utilizing flagella or filopodia to swim, by amoeboid movement, or by gliding, twitching, or swarming. They ...

Researchers discovered how to stop bacteria motility and thus how to disrupt bacterial infections. When looking at bacteria, you typically see also flagella: long hairs that protrudes from the ...

When looking at bacteria, you typically see also flagella: long hairs that protrudes from the bacteria's body. The key function of the flagella is movement - what scientists call 'motility'. The ...

The survival curves for a population of reactivated spermatozoa exposed to digestion by trypsin indicate that a large number of trypsin-sensitive targets must be digested before the flagellum ...

Like humans, bacteria in most ecosystems live with limited resources. Therefore they are constantly faced with investment decisions: should they enhance motile behavior and thus be able to exploit new ...
