Bacteria have developed a large array of motility mechanisms to exploit available resources
and environments. These mechanisms can be broadly classified into swimming in aqueous …

Living biological systems, ranging from single cells to whole organisms, can sense, process
information, and actuate in response to changing environmental conditions. Inspired by …

Most swimming bacteria are capable of following gradients of nutrients, signaling molecules
and other environmental factors that affect bacterial physiology. This tactic behavior became …

The root-associated microbiota plays an important role in the response to environmental
stress. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling the interaction between salt …

Metabolomics uses advanced analytical chemistry techniques to enable the high-throughput
characterization of metabolites from cells, organs, tissues, or biofluids. The rapid growth in …

The bacterial flagellum is a macromolecular protein complex that harvests energy from uni-
directional ion flow across the inner membrane to power bacterial swimming via rotation of …

From bacteria following simple chemical gradients to the brain distinguishing complex odour
information, the ability to recognize molecular patterns is essential for biological organisms …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Diffusiophoresis is the spontaneous motion of particles under a concentration gradient of
solutes. Since the first recognition by Derjaguin and colleagues in 1947 in the form of …

All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial,
archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles …
