Bacteria Use One Simple Strategy to Navigate Complex Worlds
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...
New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella - the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

When you're bitten by a tick carrying the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, the microbes travel through your bloodstream and can eventually spread to the heart, joints and nervous system. But exactly ...
Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...
