Dual Regulatory Role Exerted by Cyclic Dimeric GMP To Control FsnR-Mediated Bacterial Swimming
mBio, 2022 Bacterial motility has great medical and ecological significance because of its essential role in bacterial survival and pathogenesis. Cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP), a second messenger in bacteria, is the predominant regulator of flagellar synthesis and ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Phase variation (PV) is a phenomenon common to a variety of bacterial species for niche adaption and survival in challenging environments. Among Campylobacter species, PV depends on the presence of intergenic and intragenic hypermutable G/C homopolymeric

Modeling the locomotion of articulated soft robots in granular medium [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Soft robots, in contrast to their rigid counter parts, have infinite degrees of freedom that are coupled with their interaction with the environment. We consider the locomotion of an untethered robot, in the granular medium, comprised of multiple flexible flagella that rotate about an axis by a motor.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Assembly of the bacterial flagellar rod, hook, and filament requires penetration through the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus and outer membrane. In most β- and γ-proteobacteria, the protein FlgJ has two functional domains that enable PG hydrolyzing activity ...

Multiflagellate Swimming Controlled by Interflagella Hydrodynamic Interactions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Many eukaryotic microorganisms propelled by multiple flagella can swim very rapidly with distinct gaits. Here, we model a three-dimensional mutiflagellate swimming strategy, resembling the microalgae, and investigate the effects of interflagella hydrodynamic interactions (iHIs) on the swimming performance.

A PAS Domain-Containing Regulator Controls Flagella-Flagella Interactions in Campylobacter jejuni
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The bipolar flagella of the foodborne bacterial pathogen Campylobacter jejuni confermotility, which is essential for virulence. The flagella of C. jejuni are posttranslationallymodified, but how this process is controlled is not well understood.
