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 flagellum is a reversible rotary motor powered by an electrochemical-potential
difference of specific ions across the cytoplasmic membrane. The H+-driven motor of …

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th edition provides basic, clear and concise
knowledge and practical information about working with microorganisms. Useful to anyone …

Although it is known that diverse bacterial flagellar motors produce different torques, the
mechanism underlying torque variation is unknown. To understand this difference better, we …

The bacterial flagellar motor can rotate in counterclockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW)
senses, and transitions are controlled by the phosphorylated form of the response regulator …

Exposure to sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics could induce the biofilm
formation of microorganisms, but its underlying mechanisms still remain elusive. In the …

The outer membrane protein A (OmpA) plays important roles in anchoring of the outer
membrane to the bacterial cell wall. The C-terminal periplasmic domain of OmpA (OmpA-like …

Bacterial flagellar motility is among the most extensively studied physiological systems in
biology, but most research has been restricted to using the highly similar Gram-negative …

It is becoming clear that the bacterial flagellar motor output is important not only for bacterial
locomotion but also for mediating the transition from liquid to surface living. The output of the …

The bacterial flagellum is a locomotive organelle that propels the bacterial cell body in liquid
environments. The flagellum is a supramolecular complex composed of about 30 different …
