| مستخلص: |
The article discusses fluid dynamics for microorganisms like the bacteria in the genus Spiroplasma, with a comparison of microorganisms' motility in water to the January 1919 molasses flood disaster in Boston, Massachusetts. Topics include research on adaptations which allow microorganisms to move through water and other fluids, the absence of external motility appendages in some microbes, and the discovery of protein motors and thinning enzymes in certain bacterial cells. |
