Abstract excerpt

A mutant strain of Salmonella typhimurium, SJW46, has flagellar filaments supercoiled in the same form as the wild-type strain, SJW1103, and swims normally. However, its flagellar filaments are mechanically unstable and show anomalous behaviors of polymorphism. Flagellin from SJW46 has a large ce...
