Researchers propose a novel computational method to quantify information flow in biological systems, enabling accurate analysis without measuring input signals. The method, using a dual reporter system, accurately analyzed information flow leading to bacterial motor output in response to chemical signals.
Researchers at Umea University discover new role for D-amino acids in stress-driven bacterial chemotaxis, revealing complex ecological systems and potential strategies to manipulate bacterial populations. D-Arginine plays a multifaceted role in shaping microbial communities and influencing niche selection.
A new method was developed to investigate how Helicobacter pylori locates its target in the stomach. The technique successfully reported the probability of clockwise rotation in H. pylori and showed similarities with E. coli's flagellar control mechanism. This could lead to better understanding of chemotaxis and potential dietary inter...
A team of scientists used PALM microscopy to show that bacterial membrane proteins can spontaneously form clusters without being actively distributed. The researchers found that random lateral protein diffusion and protein-protein interactions generate complex, ordered patterns in the chemotaxis network.
In a developmental program, Dictyostelium cells acquire polarized morphology and aggregate to form a migrating stream. The team discovered that ACA-containing vesicles cluster at the rear of cells, creating a 'breadcrumb trail' that guides fellow cells to join the parade.
