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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Motility of P. aeruginosa flagella is responsible for the production of neutrophil extracellular traps, report scientists. Flagellar motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main factor required to ...

Two new studies uncover unexpected ways that microbes move, offering insights that could impact our understanding of human ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy revealed that defective centrioles hinder sperm motility by impeding flagellum formation ...

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 ...
