Abrupt changes in flagellar rotation observed by laser dark-field microscopy.

Nature - 16 Aug 1990

Kudo S, Magariyama Y, Aizawa S

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium swim by rotating their flagella, each of which consists of an external helical filament and a rotary motor embedded in the cell surface. The function of the flagellar motor has been examined mainly by tethering the flagellar filament to a glass slide and observing the resultant rotation of the cell body. But under these conditions the motor operates at...
