Previous studies have shown that Listeria monocytogenes flagellar motility genes, including flaA, encoding flagellin, are transcriptionally down-regulated at 37°C. For some L. monocytogenes strains, ...

The bacterial flagellum is a complex organelle that is required for the motility that is driven by an ion-powered rotary motor. The assembly of multiple flagellar organelles in a single cell is ...

Professor Takayuki Nishizaka and Dr. Yoshiaki Kinosita from Gakushuin University, together with Dr. Yoshitomo Kikuchi (Senior Researcher) from AIST, have discovered an unforeseen form of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Using a selective inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, N-[2(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-8), the requirement for ...

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) developed a motility-reactivation method to help determine how light-responsive changes in flagellar waveform in Volvox rousseletii, a ...

Most motile bacteria move by the use of flagella. While the flagellar motor components have been identified, it remains unclear how they are assembled and activated. Researchers have now shown, ...

(Nanowerk News) Bacteria swim in many different ways, and the motors that drive their swimming are widely varied, implying an adaptive response to an environment. One of the most commonly identified ...

Many species of swimming bacteria have a rotary structure called a "flagellum," consisting of more than twenty different kinds of proteins. By rotating their flagellar filaments and gaining propulsion ...
