The research team discovered that the rotation of flagella in Bacillus ... in a specific subset of donor cells, which then form clusters with recipient bacteria. These multicellular clusters ...

But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium. Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella.

SOME cilia and flagella beat in a complex three-dimensional manner, and, in addition, the angular velocity at the tip is greater than at the base. Presumably the bundle of fibrils which make up a ...

An underwater drone with long, spinning arms like the flagella of bacteria could survey the seas without endangering marine life, its creators claim ...

However, again to the scientists’ surprise, the cilia on pancreatic cells deviated from this expected arrangement and had eight outer microtubule doublets and a central microtubule doublet or singlet.

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that bacterial movement plays a central role in the transfer of antibiotic resistance ...

This process, known as bacterial ... of cells into close contact, facilitating the transfer of genetic material. Importantly, the study demonstrates that it is not just the presence of flagella ...

which then form clusters with recipient bacteria. These multicellular clusters bring the two types of cells into close contact, facilitating the transfer of genetic material. Importantly, the study ...
