Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium tumefaciens produces flagella that are arranged circumthecally near one end of the bacilliform cell. The flagella are required for motility to facilitate reaching the root surface, and possibly aid in orientating the bacterial cells at various sites for infection. We have identified three flagella genes designated flaA, flaB, and flaC. Mutations in flaA, flaB and flaC result in abberant swimming...
