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 ...

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Aarhus University, Denmark, researchers have confirmed protonic conductivity over distances exceeding 100 micrometers along filamentous Desulfobulbaceae ...

The effects Pulendran’s team found appeared to be mediated by Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), a molecule that mediates an immune reaction to flagellin, the protein which forms filamentous bacterial ...
