Load-Dependent Assembly of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor [PDF]

mBio, 2013
ABSTRACT 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 flagellar motor changes with the mechanical load placed on it by the external environment: at a higher load, the motor runs more slowly ...
