Cellular motility is the spontaneous movement of a ... Many single cells rely on beating cilia and flagella to move. Now it is shown that the core of these appendages twists to generate the ...

Thus, understanding the molecular mechanism of flagellar motility will be key for achieving this," remarks Tatsuro. Moreover, knowledge of flagellar motors could lead to innovative designs for ...

This is real-time imaging of a flagellar polymorphic change under a fluorescent microscope. A normal filament was changed to a coiled filament at 0.9 sec, subsequently, the filament wound around ...

One motivation behind this study was finding ways of inactivating such bacteria by restricting their movement. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanism of flagellar motility will be key for ...

This is a differential medium used to determine whether an organism is equipped with flagella and thus capable of swimming away from a stab mark. The results of motility agar are often difficult to ...
