Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To examine flagella role and cell motility in adhesion of Achromobacter piechaudii to chalk. METHODS AND RESULTS: Transmission electron microscopy revealed that stationary cells have thicker and longer flagella than logarithmic cells. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that flagellin was more abundant in stationary cells than logarithmic ones. Sonication or inhibition of flagellin synthesis caused a 30% reduction in...
