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 much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers uncovered how sodium ions drive bacterial flagellar motors, revealing key ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 real-time imaging of a flagellar polymorphic change under a fluorescent microscope. A normal filament was changed to a coiled filament at 0.9 sec, subsequently, the filament wound around ...

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