Abstract excerpt
Precise regulation of the number and positioning of flagella are critical in order for the mono-polar-flagellated bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus to swim efficiently. It has been shown that, in V. alginolyticus cells, the putative GTPase FlhF determines the polar location and production of flagella, while the putative ATPase FlhG interacts with FlhF, preventing it from localizing at the pole, and thus negatively...
