Gut bacteria may move through human populations on a faster and broader timetable than previously recognized. Researchers ...

Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...

This collaboration, between a bacterial biochemist and a condensed-matter physicist, use light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria, forming two- and three-dimensional nematic ...

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 ...

New research from Indiana University has uncovered a previously unknown vulnerability in how bacteria build the whip-like ...

Megan O'Hara graduated in May after double majoring in microbiology with a dual degree in biomedical biological sciences and a minor in chemistry. In addition to receiving two awards from the ...

Microbes like viruses and bacteria have adapted to live virtually everywhere, including inside the gastrointestinal tracts of many animals and humans. But how do these microorganisms propogate their ...

Bacteria move about in uncounted ways, but one of the most common forms of cellular locomotion boils down to little more than wildly flailing appendages and other such flagella. Researchers at UCLA ...
