IN dark-ground microscopy with the sun as light-source, motile bacteria, when swimming fast, show a tail, as in the top left-hand photograph reproduced. This tail is occasionally seen to untwist ...

This change allowed the non-motile bacteria to "hitchhike" on other bacteria, increasing their chances of survival in environments where movement was not essential. This study not only explains ...

A 3D rendering captured using a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine “cables” as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. Bacteria in Polymers ...
