Evolutionary adaptation can be achieved by mechanisms accessible to all organisms, including faster growth and interference competition, but self-generated motility offers additional possibilities. We ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 90, No. 8 (Apr. 15, 1993), pp. 3378-3382 (5 pages) ...

A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

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 ...

Analyzing bacterial motility is important for understanding the biology of bacteria and has significant clinical implications. Researchers have now developed free software to analyze complex patterns ...

A well-known 'superbug' which was thought to have been a static or non-motile organism has been observed showing signs of active motility by scientists. A well-known 'superbug' which was thought to ...
