Molecular architecture of the sheathed polar flagellum in <i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i>

Abstract excerpt

Significance Many important bacterial pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae and Helicobacter pylori use a sheathed flagellum as the main organelle for motility. Although bacterial flagella have been extensively studied in model systems such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella , relatively little is known about sheathed flagella. In this study, we use high-throughput cryoelectron tomography to visualize thousands of...
