Archaea use flagella known as archaella—distinct both in protein composition and structure from bacterial flagella—to drive cell motility, but the structural basis of this function is unknown. Here, ...

Many species of swimming bacteria have a rotary structure called a "flagellum," consisting of more than twenty different kinds of proteins. By rotating their flagellar filaments and gaining propulsion ...

For the first half of the twentieth century, the sensory cilium, which is a non-motile projection that most mammalian cells possess, was thought to be a functionless vestigial structure. A series of ...

A tiny but powerful engine that propels the bacterium Bacillus subtilis through liquids is disengaged from the corkscrew-like flagellum by a protein clutch, scientists have learned. Scientists have ...

In a study published April 25 in Science Advances, researchers describe how components of a bacterial flagellum’s export ring are assembled. The export ring forms at the base of the flagellum and ...

Motile bacteria move through the function of flagella. These appendages rotate, which propels an organism forwards. This is a little like the propellers on a boat. Some bacteria have one flagellum, ...

When headed the wrong way, some bacteria turn by letting their propellers flop. The newly discovered turning mechanism explains how a marine bacterium can control its direction using only a single ...

THREE years before his death in 1805, English philosopher William Paley proposed a now-famous thought experiment. Imagine discovering a watch on the heath: how would you explain its intricate ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A tiny but powerful engine that propels the bacterium Bacillus subtilis through liquids is disengaged from the corkscrew-like flagellum by a protein clutch, Indiana University ...
