Inactivation of a putative flagellar motor switch protein FliG1 prevents <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> from swimming in highly viscous media and blocks its infectivity

18 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

The flagellar motor switch complex protein FliG plays an essential role in flagella biosynthesis and motility. In most motile bacteria, only one fliG homologue is present in the genome. However, several spirochete species have two putative fliG genes (referred to as fliG1 and fliG2) and their roles in flagella assembly and motility remain unknown. In this report, the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi...
