Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller features, and electron microscopy resolves small structures, but samples ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

The need for new fast classification methods has become increasingly important. When a patient arrives at a medical center ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...
