    Caulobacter

    3262

    A study using Caulobacter crescentus showed that some bacteria use just-in-time processing, much like that used in industrial delivery, to make the glue that allows them to attach to surfaces, an important step in the infection process for many disease-causing bacteria. In the image shown, this freshwater bacterium has a holdfast at the top and a propelling flagellum at the end. From an Indiana University news release.
