Same moves, different terrain: How bacteria navigate complex environments without changing their playbook
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming ...
Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Public Health Image Library, NIAID, Image ID: 18139) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Public Health Image Library, NIAID, Image ID: 18139) A new study shows how bacteria juggle ...
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 ...
An audience clapping in rhythm, fireflies flashing in unison, or flocks of starlings moving as one – synchronisation is a natural phenomenon observed across diverse systems and scales. First described ...
The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...
Lignin is abundant and full of valuable carbons, but microbes struggle to digest it efficiently because of its complex structure and high energy cost. For years, scientists have marveled at bacteria’s ...
