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 ...

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 ...

Species of bacteria in the gut microbiome are evolving differently in industrialized and non-industrialized parts of the world, researchers have found. One adaptation that has become prominent in ...
