Abstract excerpt
We have isolated spontaneous mutants of Salmonella typhimurium which can swim in the presence of antifilament antibodies. The molecular masses of flagellins isolated from these mutants were smaller than that (52 kDa) of wild-type flagellin. Two mutants which produced the smallest flagellins (42 and 41 kDa) were selected, and the domain structures of the flagellins were analyzed by trypsin digestion and then...
