ALTHOUGH flagella movement or propulsion by means of a single flagellum is probably one of the first types of movement which came into existence, the fact remains that comparatively little is known ...

Flagellar assembly occurs at the distal tip of the organelle, which is far from the site of protein synthesis in the cell body. As a result, intraflagellar transport (IFT) is required to transport ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

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 ...

Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the quest to understand how single-cell green algae are able to keep track of the light as they swim. Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the ...

In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...
