Abstract excerpt
Vibrio parahaemolyticus synthesizes two distinct flagellar organelles, the polar flagellum (Fla), which propels the bacterium in a liquid environment (swimming), and the lateral flagella (Laf), which are responsible for movement over surfaces (swarming). Chemotactic control of each of these flagellar systems was evaluated separately by analyzing the behavioral responses of strains defective in either motility...
