Improvement in Motion Efficiency of the Spirochete Brachyspira pilosicoli in Viscous Environments

Spirochetes are unique among swimming bacteria in terms of their lack of external flagella. They actively move in viscous environments, and, surprisingly, the swimming speed of the spirochete Leptospira interrogans has been reported to increase with viscosity in methylcellulose solutions. Many resea...
