Abstract excerpt
In this work, the genes that encode the FliM and FliN proteins of Rhodobacter sphaeroides were characterized. These genes are part of a large flagellar gene cluster in which six additional open reading frames encoding products homologous to FliL, FliO, FliP, FliQ, FliR, and FlhB proteins from other bacteria were identified. The inactivation of the fliM gene gave a nonflagellate phenotype (Fla-), suggesting that...
