Bringing order to a complex molecular machine: The assembly of the bacterial flagella
Abstract
The bacterial flagellum is an example of elegance in molecular engineering. Flagella dependent motility is a widespread and evolutionarily ancient trait. Diverse bacterial species have evolved unique structural adaptations enabling them to migrate in their environmental niche. Variability exists in the number, location and configuration of flagella, and reflects unique adaptations of the microorganism. The most detailed analysis of flagellar …
