Periplasmic flagella in Borrelia burgdoferi function to maintain cellular integrity upon external stress.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Kumar Bharath, Miller Kelly, Charon Nyles W, Legleiter Justin

Abstract excerpt

Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) in solution was used to analyze the role of the internally located periplasmic flagella (PFs) of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in withstanding externally applied cellular stresses. By systematically imaging immobilized spirochetes with increasing tapping forces, we found that mutants that lack PFs are more readily compressed and damaged by the imaging...
