How bacterial chemotaxis is performed is much better understood than why. Traditionally,
chemotaxis has been understood as a foraging strategy by which bacteria enhance their …

Since its discovery six decades ago, the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus has
sparked recent interest as a potential remedy to the antibiotic resistance crisis. Here we give …

As a typical pathogen-associated molecular pattern, bacterial flagellin can bind Toll-like
receptor 5 and the intracellular NAIP5 receptor component of the NLRC4 inflammasome to …

In 1980s, the most genes involved in the bacterial flagellar function and formation had been
isolated, although many of their functions or roles were not clarified. Bacterial flagella are the …

The bacterial flagellar filament is an extracellular tubular protein structure that acts as a
propeller for bacterial swimming motility. It is connected to the membrane-anchored rotary …

To swim and navigate, motile bacteria synthesize a complex motility machinery involving
flagella, motors, and a sensory system. A myriad of studies has elucidated the molecular …

The type III secretion system is the common core of two bacterial molecular machines: the
flagellum and the injectisome. The flagellum is the most widely distributed prokaryotic …

A number of bacterial species control the function of the flagellar motor in response to the
levels of the secondary messenger c-di-GMP, which is often mediated by c-di-GMP-binding …

Alcaligenes faecalis D334 was determined in this study as a salt-tolerant bacterium isolated
from mangrove sediment. In response to 6%(w/v) NaCl, strain D334 produced the highest …

Cancer, ranked as the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, leads to the death of
approximately seven million people annually, establishing itself as one of the most …
