Electron microscopy images reveal crucial structures and mechanisms within the molecular machinery that certain bacteria use ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

A related Vibrio species is frequently linked to food poisoning from shellfish. In past work, Parthasarathy's lab has shown that Vibrio cholerae bacteria amped up the strength of gut contractions ...

A new study finds that sharks and rays harbor several harmful bacteria, some resistant to antibiotics, raising concerns over their impact on public health.

Recent research presents a novel approach to managing the risks posed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a common yet hazardous ...

Vibrio are a group of marine bacteria that thrive in warm, brackish waters—where fresh water mixes with seawater—like the estuaries on the coast of Florida. While most species are harmless to humans, ...

Integrons are genetic elements that capture and store gene cassettes in Vibrio species. Bioinformatic and molecular techniques show that these regions can be hotspots of phage defence systems.

Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of ...
