Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a photophobic response (light avoidance) in the unicellular apusomonad ...
Some microbes can squeeze through tight spaces by wrapping themselves in their flagellum—the tail-like structure they use to ...
In tight spaces that trap most microbes, one bacterium keeps moving by reconfiguring how it swims, revealing a new biological ...
Termites did not evolve complex societies by adding new genetic features. Instead, scientists found that they became more ...

Bacteria Use One Simple Strategy to Navigate Complex Worlds
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...
Termites became social powerhouses by stripping away genes tied to competition and independence. This genetic shedding locked in monogamy, boosted cooperation, and paved the way for their ...
In 1907, Brazilian physician Chagas traveled to Minas Gerais state to address a malaria outbreak among railway construction workers. After eradicating the mosquitoes using insecticides and resolving ...
Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, ...
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology’s most intensively studied molecular machines. Bacteria move through ...
