Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Prof. HE Yongxing's research group from Lanzhou ...

Two new studies uncover unexpected ways that microbes move, offering insights that could impact our understanding of human health and disease. New research from Arizona State University has uncovered ...

Cholera is a deadly bacterial disease that kills about 95,000 people every year. Vibrio cholerae bacteria infect cells in the ...

How well bacteria move and sense their environment directly affects their success in surviving and spreading. About half of known bacteria species use a flagella to move — a rotating appendage that ...

Professor Takayuki Nishizaka and Dr. Yoshiaki Kinosita from Gakushuin University, together with Dr. Yoshitomo Kikuchi (Senior Researcher) from AIST, have discovered an unforeseen form of ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella — the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

Bacteria are single-celled organisms, and while we know they can move around with filaments, the exact mechanisms behind how they do so has been unclear for many years. Researchers have now used ...

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without ...

In their roughly 3.5 billion years on Earth, bacteria have fine-tuned the art of colonizing all kinds of habitats, from the inner lining of digestive tracts to the blistering hot waters of geysers.

A research group has discovered an interesting way that bacteria adapt to their environment. Their study, published in ...
