Mike Manson has spent 50 years at Texas A&M studying the bacterial flagellar motor - a molecular machine that spins hundreds ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is an intricate, rotary nanomachine that underpins bacterial motility, enabling cells to navigate complex environments. This highly sophisticated system harnesses the ...

(Nanowerk News) When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, ...

A bacterium that thrives in warm coastal waters propels itself with a whip-like tail wrapped in a protective sleeve, and for ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is finally understood after 50 years. In its workings, columnist Natalie Wolchover finds the essence of life. You’re the earliest known life form. There’s no food around ...

This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...

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 ...

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. Bacteria move through ...
