Archaeal flagella rotate to propel cells, but they exhibit no obvious molecular similarity to bacterial flagella 50,64.Two important post-translational modifications occur to archaeal flagellins.

The archaeal cell surface is home to a range of lipids, proteins, polysaccharides and surface structures that are distinct from those observed at the bacterial cell surface. In this Review, Albers ...

Archaea are another type of single-celled organism that are known to carry flagella that can also behave like propellers. The researchers assessed the flagella in one type of archaea, called ...

In terms of speed and agility, flagella-powered bacteria would leave Olympic swimmers for dead. They swim hundreds of body lengths in a second, and can change direction in a fraction of that time.

The flagellum consists of as many as 50 ... Quax and her collaborators have also demonstrated that the central chemotaxis protein in archaea fits exactly to the archaeal motility structure.

A microscopic speck of green algae can trot like a horse. Or gallop. Biophysicist Kirsty Wan compares the gaits of creatures large and small. Moving diagonally opposite limbs, or flagella in this ...
