Structural and genetic analysis of a mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides WS8 deficient in hook length control.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1997

González-Pedrajo B, Ballado T, Campos A, Sockett R E, Camarena L, Dreyfus G

Abstract excerpt

Motility in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is achieved by the unidirectional rotation of a single subpolar flagellum. In this study, transposon mutagenesis was used to obtain nonmotile flagellar mutants from this bacterium. We report here the isolation and characterization of a mutant that shows a polyhook phenotype. Morphological characterization of the mutant was done by electron...
