Scientists discover tug-of-war mechanism driving bacteria flagella direction switching
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...
Whether a bacterium’s tail spins clockwise or counterclockwise was previously thought to depend on a ‘domino effect’ among proteins inside the tail. However, new research proposes that a tug-of-war is ...
