In recent years, magnetism has gained an enormous amount of interest among researchers
for actuating different sizes and types of bio/soft robots, which can be via an electromagnetic …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Background & Aims The gut microbiota is a complex and densely populated community in a
dynamic environment determined by host physiology. We investigated how intestinal oxygen …

Chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to direct their movement in gradients of attractants
and repellents, plays an important role during the rhizosphere colonization by rhizobacteria …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

The use of bacterial cells as agents of medical therapy has a long history. Research that was
ignited over a century ago with the accidental infection of cancer patients has matured into a …

Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment is a major hurdle dampening the antitumor effect of
photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, active photosynthetic bacteria (Synechococcus 7942 …

The structure of the rotary motor was described in Chapter 9 (Fig. 9.3) and its assembly was
discussed in Chapter 10. Here, I will say more about function. Given that the diameter of the …

Recent advances in molecular biology have extended our understanding of the metabolic
processes related to microbial transformation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The physiological …

Magnetotactic bacteria were discovered almost 30 years ago, and for many years and many
different reasons, the number of researchers working in this field was few and progress was …
