When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is thought to be due to activity of these threads, either by themselves or twisted into a tail.

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components—the rotor and stators. Despite ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of ...

In this constantly transforming perspective, flagellum-beating patterns are decoupled from both the 3D translation and spin of the head, which provides the opportunity to truly investigate the 3D ...

This is a differential medium used to determine whether an organism is equipped with flagella and thus capable of swimming away from a stab mark. The results of motility agar are often difficult to ...
