(2017-07-31)Escherichia coli senses a variety of chemoeffectors. The Tsr chemoreceptor is known to mediate attractant response to serine. Previously, serine was the only attractant described for Tsr. Recent work suggests Tsr senses ...

(2019-11-05)Recent work has shown that the bacterial flagellar motor is able to regulate its structure in order to adapt to long-lived perturbations in the cell’s thermal, chemical, electrical, and mechanical environments. These ...

(2021-05-10)Bacteria have evolved to have different mechanisms of motility depending on the environment. On surfaces bacteria can locomote by swarming, a phenotype that is cell density dependent and requires cell coordination. As a ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This study focuses on the mechanism of transmembrane signaling by Tar, the aspartate chemoreceptor of Escherichia coli. Like other bacterial chemoreceptors, Tar localizes to the cell membrane and relays information about ...

(2011-02-22)The overall goal of this work was to develop and utilize microfluidic models for investigating bacterial chemotaxis and biofilm formation - phenotypes that play key roles in bacterial infections. Classical methods for ...

(2021-06-04)Motility helps bacteria explore different environments and promotes the chances of their survival. Motility is powered by the rotation of thin helical appendages called flagella. Each flagellum is rotated by a transmembrane ...
