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

Their discovery showed that even tucked away in our innards – in the walls of our stomachs, subjected to vinegar-like pH ...

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 ...

parahaemolyticus isolates from genome sequences. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important food-borne human pathogen and presents immunogenic surface polysaccharides, which can be used to distinguish ...

And if the polar vortex is to blame. First, a quick refresher on the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a region of very strong winds that form a circle around the North Pole. The vortex is located ...

Victoria is the oldest of four polar bears kept at the Highland Wildlife Park in the Cairngorms National Park. At the grand old age of 28 her keepers say she has reached the stage in her life when ...

A dangerous and potentially life-threatening stretch of cold weather has much of the U.S. on alert as a lobe of the polar vortex invades the nation and sends temperatures tumbling to levels not seen ...

The polar vortex, a swirling mass of cold air located over the polar regions, is responsible for the cold. It's bringing extreme cold as far as the Deep South. Overnight lows will be well below ...

jejuni and Campylobacter (Vibrio) fetus subsp. intestinalis (Morooka et al ... Interestingly, early work identified basal disks only in proteobacteria with polar flagella, but the possibility that ...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium ... Significant motility is conferred by a single polar flagellum in V. parahaemolyticus, which is capable of sensing both biotic and ...

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 ...
