Geometric confinement paradoxically enhances bacterial chemotaxis through chiral surface swimming and sidewall alignment, with optimal performance when lane width matches the circular swimming radius.
Escherichia coli remains a paradigm for understanding cellular signalling, with its chemotaxis system providing insights into how simple organisms navigate complex environments. At the core of this ...
A significant increase in agricultural production is needed to meet the demand for food to feed the expected ~10 billion people by 2050. This increased agricultural output will also require ...
Glowing bacteria use bioluminescence to tell synthetic vesicles when to hitch a ride and when to let go, enabling fully ...
Previous studies have shown that both motility and chemotaxis are crucial to H. pylori colonization in the stomach. Mutants that are unable to sense pH gradients or concentrations of chemicals such as ...
