Many types of cells migrate directionally in direct current (DC) electric fields (EFs), a phenomenon termed galvanotaxis or electrotaxis. The directional sensing mechanisms responsible for this response to EFs, however, remain unknown. Exposing cells to an EF causes changes in plasma membrane potentials (V(m)).

- The study analyzed bacterial diversity in fecal samples from wild pygmy lorises using 16S rDNA techniques.
- The findings revealed four main bacterial groups: Firmicutes (43.1%), Proteobacteria (34.5%), Actinobacteria (5.2%), and Bacteroidetes (17.2%).
- A significant portion of the identified sequences were related to unknown bacteria, with many showing similarities to uncultured organisms found in human feces.
