intracellular motion into mechanical forces like traction force have been discovered to be a conserved class of intracellular motors in bacteria that have...
hypothesize a novel biological model for collective biomechanical and molecular mechanisms of cellular motion. It is proposed that microdomains weave the...
life they can be extremely diverse. Two of the three domains, Archaea and Bacteria, only contain microorganisms. The third domain Eukaryota includes all multicellular...
signaling (QS) is the process of cell to cell communication which allows bacteria the ability to detect and respond to cell population density by gene regulation...
motility is the ability of bacteria to move independently using metabolic energy. Most motility mechanisms that evolved among bacteria also evolved in parallel...
which is 0.06 Gt C. This means archaea collectively have over 100 times the collective biomass of humans, and bacteria over 1000 times. There is no clear...
motor is a device that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work; for example, many protein-based molecular motors harness...
living members forming the microbiome. Most microbiome researchers agree bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, and small protists should be considered as members...
Bacteria (/bækˈtɪəriə/ ; sg.: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large...

flagellates, propulsion of ciliates derives from the motion of a layer of densely-packed and collectively-moving cilia, which are short hair-like flagella...

which together with cyanobacteria, are collectively called phytoplankton." Microalgae, together with bacteria, form the base of the food web and provide...

In this case, a rotating magnetic field drives the helix in a screw-like motion. Both kinds of spermbots can be guided by weak magnetic fields. These two...

understanding their motion becomes challenging. For locomotion to occur, the symmetry of the system must be broken. In addition, collectivemotion requires a coupling...
