Same moves, different terrain: How bacteria navigate complex environments without changing their playbook
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...
New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella - the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...
Photon-driven nanorobots can steer, capture, and move bacteria with precision, enabling controlled manipulation in ...
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 ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Public Health Image Library, NIAID, Image ID: 18139) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Public Health Image Library, NIAID, Image ID: 18139) A new study shows how bacteria juggle ...
In the classic “run-and-tumble” movement pattern, bacteria swim forward (“run”) in one direction and then stop to rotate and reorient themselves in a new direction (“tumble”). During experiments where ...
