Abstract excerpt
Precise regulation of the number and placement of flagella is critical for the mono-flagellated bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus to swim efficiently. We previously proposed a model in which the putative GTPase FlhF determines the polar location and generation of the flagellum, the putative ATPase FlhG interacts with FlhF to prevent FlhF from localizing to the pole, and thus FlhG negatively regulates the flagellar...
