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 …

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 …

Archaella are the archaeal motility structure, which are structurally similar to Gram-negative
bacterial type IV pili but functionally resemble bacterial flagella. Structural and biochemical …

Microbes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms of motility allowing them to respond to
changing environmental conditions. While this cellular process is well characterized in …

Archaella are the archaeal motility structure that is the functional pendant of the bacterial
flagellum but is assembled by a mechanism similar to that for type IV pili. Recently, it was …

Archaea use flagella known as archaella—distinct both in protein composition and structure
from bacterial flagella—to drive cell motility, but the structural basis of this function is …

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 …

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 …

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 …
