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 ...

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 at The Universities of Nottingham and Sheffield.

Some of the most intractable gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, are motility disorders, where the contents of the intestines don’t proceed ...

ABSTRACT: We present a model to estimate the mean time required for mate finding among deep-sea fish as a function of motility and the extent of bioluminescent signalling. This model differs from ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...
