Abstract excerpt
The axial length of the polar flagellum (Pof) of Vibrio alginolyticus is about 5 microm. We previously isolated mutants that make abnormally long flagella. The swarm sizes of these mutants in a soft agar plate are smaller than that of a wild-type strain. We cloned a DNA fragment into the pMF209 plasmid that restored the swarming ability of the long-Pof strain V10578. The swimming speed and flagellar length of...
