When bacteria are buckling: Study supports propulsion based on adhesion forces rather than slime extrusion
In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around. The principles of this locomotion have now been investigated by a research team led by Stefan Karpitschka, group leader at the MPI-DS and ...

Cable bacteria conduct protons over 100 micrometers, hinting at bioelectronic potential
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Aarhus University, Denmark, researchers have confirmed protonic conductivity over distances exceeding 100 micrometers along filamentous Desulfobulbaceae ...
