A novel imaging technique sheds new light on bacterial mobility and adhesion.

A novel imaging technique sheds new light on bacterial mobility and adhesion. A scientific endeavour carried out by two French groups belonging to INSERM and CNRS at Aix-Marseilles University shows for the very first time that both bacterium adhesion to and bacterium motion on a surface are driven by the same mechanism. Those findings result from collaborative work with Nanolane, ... Read More »
