The bacterial flagellum is a helical filamentous organelle responsible for motility. In bacterial
species possessing flagella at the cell exterior, the long helical flagellar filament acts as a …

The bacterial flagellar motor is a supramolecular protein machine that drives rotation of the
flagellum for motility, which is essential for bacterial survival in different environments and a …

Many motile bacteria use flagella for locomotion under a variety of environmental conditions.
Because bacterial flagella are under the control of sensory signal transduction pathways …

The basal body of the bacterial flagellum is a rotary motor that consists of several rings (C,
MS and LP) and a rod. The LP ring acts as a bushing supporting the distal rod for its rapid …

The bacterial flagellum is a supramolecular motility machine. Flagellar assembly begins with
the basal body, followed by the hook and finally the filament. A carboxyl-terminal …

The Bacterial flagellar hook is a short supercoiled tubular structure made from a helical
assembly of the hook protein FlgE. The hook acts as a universal joint that connects the …

The bacterial flagellum is a motile organelle composed of thousands of protein subunits. The
filamentous part that extends from the cell membrane is called the axial structure and …

Species of the phylum Actinobacteria have long time been thought mostly non-motile and
non-flagellated, in spite of their extraordinary diversity in morphology, physiology, and …

The flagellum is an important organelle for the survival of bacteria and consists of a basal
body, hook, and filament. The FlgE protein is the subunit of the hook that connects the basal …

For many bacteria, motility stems from one or more flagella, each rotated by the bacterial
flagellar motor, a powerful rotary molecular machine. The hook, a soft polymer at the base of …
