A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

Bacteria are able to translocate by a variety of mechanisms, independently or in combination, utilizing flagella or filopodia to swim, by amoeboid movement, or by gliding, twitching, or swarming. They ...

These motility organs play important roles in DNA uptake to exchange genetic information between different bacteria, allowing what's so-called genomic plasticity. Therefore, bacterial motility organs ...
