Echoing the repeated convergent evolution of flight and vision in large eukaryotes,
propulsive swimming motility has evolved independently in microbes in each of the three …

Cells from all three domains of life on Earth utilize motile macromolecular devices that
protrude from the cell surface to generate forces that allow them to swim through fluid media …

Each of the three Domains of life, Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea, have swimming structures
that were all originally called flagella, despite the fact that none were evolutionarily related to …

Recent studies on archaeal motility have shown that the archaeal motility structure is unique
in several aspects. Although it fulfills the same swimming function as the bacterial flagellum …

Motility structures, called flagella, have been described in all three domains of life: Bacteria,
Archaea and Eukarya. These structures are well studied in both Bacteria and Eukarya …

The archaellum is the macromolecular machinery that Archaea use for propulsion or surface
adhesion, enabling them to proliferate and invade new territories. The molecular …

Each of the three domains of life exhibits a unique motility structure: while Bacteria use
flagella, Eukarya employ cilia, and Archaea swim using archaella. Since the new name for …

The bacterial flagellum is one of nature's most amazing and well‐studied nanomachines. Its
cell‐wall‐anchored motor uses chemical energy to rotate a microns‐long filament and …

Motility is a common behaviour in prokaryotes. Both bacteria and archaea use flagella for
swimming motility, but it has been well documented that structures of the flagellum from …

The archaeal flagellum is a unique motility apparatus distinct in composition and likely in
assembly from the bacterial flagellum. Gene families comprised of multiple flagellin genes …
