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

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 ...

We further discovered that induction of pLS20 promoters, governing crucial conjugative genes, is dependent on the presence of donor cell flagella, the major bacterial motility organelle. Moreover, the ...

The key focus is on understanding the interplay between individual bacterial flagella propulsion and the collective behavior of the bacterial active matter system. The simulation results reveal the ...

Bacteria exhibit species-specific numbers and localization patterns of flagella. How specificity in number and pattern is achieved is poorly understood but often depends on a soluble GTPase called ...

This important study describes the discovery of a mechanism by which multiple species of bacteria synthesize and localize polar flagella via a novel protein, FipA, which interacts with FlhF. The ...

While different groups of bacteria were involved in the different countries examined, they all influenced pathways that synthesize B vitamins in the body. The researchers found the changes in gut ...

They compared data from stool samples collected from coffee drinkers and non-drinkers to identify differences in their gut bacteria. The study observed several correlations, the strongest being ...
