Wavelengths of Bacterial Flagella [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1954
SUMMARY: In sunlight dark-ground microscopy the flagella of a packet of motile sarcina appear as a smooth tail. The tails often stiffen into helices of two different wavelengths, one being twice as long as the other. The short and the long wavelengths are identical in Sarcina ureea and S. agilis. This phenomenon of two wavelengths, one twice as long as

Magnetically Actuated Microrobot for Drug Delivery: Current Progress and Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Magnetically actuated microrobots are reshaping targeted drug delivery through wireless propulsion, programmable materials, and localized therapeutic release. This review examines how fabrication, body material selection, structural architecture, loading mechanisms, and imaging‐guided control converge to enable microrobotic therapies while identifying ...

Spirochete Flagella and Motility [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Spirochetes can be distinguished from other flagellated bacteria by their long, thin, spiral (or wavy) cell bodies and endoflagella that reside within the periplasmic space, designated as periplasmic flagella (PFs). Some members of the spirochetes are pathogenic, including the causative agents of syphilis, Lyme disease, swine dysentery, and ...

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

BOULE is Essential for the Dynamic Disassembly of Heat Shock Granules in Male Germ Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
BOULE orchestrates stress granule disassembly in germ cells via a two‐pronged mechanism: it promotes G3BP1 ubiquitination by upregulating TRIM27, generating a signal for VCP/FAF2 recruitment, and it maintains G3BP1 and FAF2 protein levels. BOULE deficiency disrupts disassembly complex formation, leading to impaired heat shock granule clearance ...

Homologous Recombination in Clostridioides difficile Mediates Diversification of Cell Surface Features and Transport Systems

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Illness caused by the pathogen Clostridioides difficile is widespread and can range in severity from mild diarrhea to sepsis and death. Strains of C. difficile isolated from human infections exhibit great genetic diversity, leading to the hypothesis that
