Researchers at TU Delft have discovered that E. coli bacteria can synchronize their movements, creating order in seemingly random biological systems. By trapping individual bacteria in ...

Bacteria that move around live on the edge. All the time. Their success, be it in finding nutrients, fending off predators or multiplying, depends on how efficiently they navigate through their ...

Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...

Biofilms form when microorganisms such as certain types of bacteria adhere to the surface of objects in a moist environment and begin to reproduce resulting in the excretion of a slimy glue-like ...

New Haven, Conn.—Yale engineers have for the first time observed and tracked E. coli bacteria moving in a liquid medium with a motion similar to that of a kayak paddle. Their findings, which appear ...

In other words, scientists were able to “listen” to the sound of a single bacteria, moving all by itself in the water. The recording, which is linked below, is an unprecedented view into the ...

As a typical pusher type microswimmer, bacillus subtilis propel their cylindrical body by rotating their helical flagella buddle. It has been widely used as standard model in studies ranging from ...
