Electron microscopy images reveal crucial structures and mechanisms within the molecular machinery that certain bacteria use ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...

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

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

Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

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

When such preparations are dried, the wavy threads can be stained with so-called flagellar stains, and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is ...

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