Mycoplasmas, despite their minimalistic cellular architecture, display a distinct form of motility that sets them apart from other bacteria and eukaryotes. This gliding mechanism is powered by ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

Bacteria are able to translocate by a variety of mechanisms, independently or in combination, utilizing flagella or filopodia to swim, by amoeboid movement, or by gliding, twitching, or swarming. They ...
