Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

Engineers at Princeton showed that some types of soil bacteria can influence a plant’s balance of growth and defense. The ...

Today, however, so much more is understood about the complexity of the eye that random evolution is not the best explanation ...

1988). In addition to magnetosomes and magnetic nanoparticles, magnetotactic bacteria also have a flagellum, which they use for mobility. Magnetotactic bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms ...

Namba Protonic NanoMachine Project studied the structure and function of the bacterial flagellum as a huge molecular system based on the organization and movement of the individual atoms that build it ...

Bacteria with flagella, or spinning tails, can move up to a hundred times their body length in a second—a large fish can only move about ten times its body length in a second. The strongest ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...
