A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

Scientists are studying how bacteria move across surfaces -- a process known as twitching motility. New findings led to the surprising discovery of the key role surface properties play in either ...

These motility organs play important roles in DNA uptake to exchange genetic information between different bacteria, allowing what's so-called genomic plasticity. Therefore, bacterial motility organs ...

A: result of the motor resurrection experiments. B: distribution of the number of stators per flagellar motor (with bacteria swimming in free liquid environment) Flagellated bacteria are propelled by ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...
