Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the fliK gene of Salmonella typhimurium commonly cause failure to terminate hook assembly and initiate filament assembly (polyhook phenotype). Polyhook mutants give rise to pseudorevertants which are still defective in hook termination but have recovered the ability to assemble filam...
