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 bacterium found in sewage sludge uses its tail-like flagellum to lasso a symbiotic archaeon and keep it close at bay so that the two microbial partners can synchronize their metabolism, a Japanese ...
Scientists mapped the bacterial flagellum in atomic detail, revealing it as a target to disarm infections without killing bacteria or driving antibiotic resistance. (Nanowerk News) The ‘molecular ...
New mechanistic insights into the protein complex that powers the bacterial flagellum may assist antibiotic development. A study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) used ...
(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, ...

Understanding the Bacterial Propeller Architecture Offers Hope Against Antibiotic Resistance
Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet – in the fight against antibiotic resistance. The 'molecular machine' flagellum is essential for bacteria to cause ...
