Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Bacterial cells can display different types of motility, due to the presence of external appendages such as flagella and type IV pili. To date, little information on the mechanisms involved in the motility of the Lysobacter species has been available ...

Localized Activation of Bending in Proximal, Medial and Distal Regions of Sea-Urchin Sperm Flagella [PDF]
, 1973 Spermatozoa from the sea urchin, Colobocentrotus atratus, were partially demembranated by extraction with solutions containing Triton X-100 at a concentration which was insufficient to solubilize the membranes completely.

Inhibition and relaxation of sea urchin sperm flagella by vanadate [PDF]
, 1980 Direct measurements of the stiffness (elastic bending resistance) of demembranated sera urchin sperm flagella were made in the presence of MgATP2- and vanadate.

Journal of Fungi, 2023 The seven most early diverging lineages of the 18 phyla of fungi are the non-terrestrial fungi, which reproduce through motile flagellated zoospores. There are genes/proteins that are present only in organisms with flagellum or cilium.

Building a flagellum in biological outer space [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2014 Flagella, the rotary propellers on the surface of bacteria, present a paradigm for how cells build and operate complex molecular 'nanomachines'. Flagella grow at a constant rate to extend several times the length of the cell, and this is achieved by thousands of secreted structural subunits transiting through a central channel in the lengthening ...

Multiple pathways impact the swarming motility of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1
Microbiology SpectrumSwarming motility in pseudomonads typically requires both a functional flagellum and the production/secretion of a biosurfactant. Published work has shown that the wild-type Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 is swarming deficient due to a point mutation in ...

A short review on the morphology of Trypanosoma cruzi: from 1909 to 1999
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999 The morphology of Trypanosoma cruzi is reviewed since the initial description of Giemsa-stained preparations by Carlos Chagas until the most recent micrographs obtained with freeze-fracture techniques.

Phylogenetic Distribution, Ultrastructure, and Function of Bacterial Flagellar Sheaths
Biomolecules, 2020 A number of Gram-negative bacteria have a membrane surrounding their flagella, referred to as the flagellar sheath, which is continuous with the outer membrane. The flagellar sheath was initially described in Vibrio metschnikovii in the early 1950s as an

Shape of optimal active flagella
, 2013 Many eukaryotic cells use the active waving motion of flexible flagella to self-propel in viscous fluids. However, the criteria governing the selection of particular flagellar waveforms among all possible shapes has proved elusive so far. To address this

Escherichia coli EHEC Germany outbreak preliminary functional annotation using BG7 system [PDF]
, 2011 We have annotated the European outbreak E. coli EHEC genome sequenced by BGI (6-2-2011) and assembled with MIRA by Nick Loman (6-2-2011 ). Our system BG7, Bacterial Genome annotation of Era7 Bioinformatics, predicts ORFs and annotates them based on ...
