Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

A unique “flat” dimeric structure of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centre-light harvesting membrane complexes discovered by state-of-the-art cryogenic electron microscopy. Researchers at the ...

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.

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...
