How Bacteria Generate Energy to Live?

... that powers essential cell functions, such as the movement of the bacterium’s tail, the flagellum. Most cells, including human cells, use gradients of protons for this energy conservation function, but enzymes that work with sodium ions are ideal for experimental study, according to Barquera. Sodium is eas...

Bacteria Harnessed as Micro-Robot Motors

...olution to this problem, by exploiting the natural movement of bacteria to propel micro-objects through water. Many bacteria propel themselves along in a fluid by rotating their corkscrew-like tails, called flagella, at relatively high speeds. These flagella are only around 20 nanometres in diameter and ar...
