The bacterial flagellum is a helical filamentous organelle responsible for motility. In bacterial
species possessing flagella at the cell exterior, the long helical flagellar filament acts as a …

Bacteria predate plants and animals by billions of years. Today, they are the world's smallest
cells, yet they represent the bulk of the world's biomass and the main reservoir of nutrients …

The binding between biotin and streptavidin or avidin is one of the strongest known non-
covalent biological interactions. The (strept) avidin-biotin interaction has been widely used …

Bacteria swim by rotating rigid helical flagella and periodically reorienting to follow
environmental cues,. Despite the crucial role of reorientations, their underlying mechanism …

The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is the rotary motor that rotates each bacterial flagellum,
powering the swimming and swarming of many motile bacteria. The torque is provided by …

Using a series of multiheme cytochromes, the metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella
oneidensis MR-1 can perform extracellular electron transfer (EET) to respire redox-active …

Persistence, the stress-tolerant state, is arguably the most vital phenotype since nearly all
cells experience nutrient stress, which causes a sub-population to become dormant …

Campylobacter jejuni rotates a flagellum at each pole to swim through the viscous mucosa
of its hosts' gastrointestinal tracts. Despite their importance for host colonization, however …

The chemotaxis signal transduction network regulates the biased random walk of many
bacteria in favorable directions and away from harmful ones through modulating the …

Wirelessly controlled nanoscale robots have the potential to be used for both in vitro and in
vivo biomedical applications. So far, the vast majority of reported micro-and nanoscale …
