Many bacteria swim in liquid or swarm over solid surfaces by synthesizing rotary flagella.
The same bacteria that are motile also commonly form nonmotile multicellular aggregates …

Many bacteria that cause diseases of humans, animals and plants use flagella to move. This
review summarises recent studies that have analysed the role of motility and chemotaxis in …

The bacterial flagellum is a complex and dynamic nanomachine that propels bacteria
through liquids. It consists of a basal body, a hook, and a long filament. The flagellar filament …

The single polar flagellum of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important virulence and
colonization factor of this opportunistic pathogen. In this study, the annotation of the genes …

Sigma factors provide promoter recognition specificity to RNA polymerase holoenzyme,
contribute to DNA strand separation, and then dissociate from the core enzyme following …

Flagellar motility helps bacteria to reach the most favourable environments and to
successfully compete with other micro-organisms. These complex organelles also play an …

Vibrio cholerae can switch between motile and biofilm lifestyles. The last decades have
been marked by a remarkable increase in our knowledge of the structure, regulation, and …

Polar flagella of Vibrio species can rotate at speeds as high as 100,000 rpm and effectively
propel the bacteria in liquid as fast as 60 μm/s. The sodium motive force powers rotation of …

Research on the molecular mechanism of bacterial flagellar assembly has been an ongoing
study that spans three decades. Early work showed that regulation of flagellar gene …

Highlights•A plethora of c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes impact cellular processes in Vibrio
cholerae.•C-di-GMP receptors are diverse and target processes are controlled by different …
