Abstract excerpt
Rotary flagella propel bacteria through liquid and across semisolid environments. Flagella are composed of the basal body that constitutes the motor for rotation, the curved hook that connects to the basal body, and the flagellar filament that propels the cell. Flagellar filaments can be composed of a single flagellin protein, such as in Escherichia coli, or made up of multiple flagellins, such as in...
