Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella – part of the cell that aids in movement – that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they engineered a ...

Now, they would like to better understand why these enzymes may be advantageous to both bacteria and their plant hosts. One hypothesis is that chopping up the flagella of pathogens prevents them ...

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 ...

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

The projections on bacteria are known as pili or flagella that help them attach to the host and move respectively. Viruses are much tinier than bacteria. The largest virus is still smaller than ...
