Measurement of bacterial flagellar thrust by negative dielectrophoresis.
The force produced by the flagella of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium has been measured using negative dielectrophoretic methods. The bacteria are held in a force funnel, produced using a nonuniform electric field. When the motor force is balanced against an opposing negative dielectrophoretic force the bacteria become motionless. Numerical simulations have been used to estimate the electr...
متن کاملBacterial flagellar motor
What do you think of the state of biology today? It has indeed changed in many ways, and to the good. Molecular biology has come into its own and provides enormous power to answer new and old questions in such areas as development, physiology, and cell biology. The use of mathematical tools has become increasingly effective in shedding light on ecological and evolutionary problems, and other ma...
متن کاملBacterial Flagella: Flagellar Motor
Many species of bacteria actively seek out favourable conditions for growth by swimming up gradients of nutrients, oxygen, light or other attractants, or down gradients away from toxic substances (repellants). Different species employ several different modes of swimming, almost all of which are driven by the rapid rotation of helical flagellar filaments that protrude from the cell. Rotation of ...
متن کاملBacterial flagellar motor.
The bacterial flagellar motor is a reversible rotary nano-machine, about 45 nm in diameter, embedded in the bacterial cell envelope. It is powered by the flux of H+ or Na+ ions across the cytoplasmic membrane driven by an electrochemical gradient, the proton-motive force or the sodium-motive force. Each motor rotates a helical filament at several hundreds of revolutions per second (hertz). In m...
متن کاملexamining the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and communication strategies by iranian efl learners
the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (fne) and communication strategies (css) among iranian efl learners. it was aimed to examine the differences in the use of communication strategies between speakers with high or low degree of fear of negative evaluation. the current study was a case study consisting of 10 english learners at...
