Bacterial Flagella and Motility
Nature, 1948Flagella, and especially bacterial flagella, have been thoroughly investigated during the past decade. Before that they were rather taken for granted. This awakening of interest was largely due to the electron microscope referred to as the EM) which made them more real, and revealed new features, without solving their mysteries. Perhaps also, as Knaysi

Staining bacterial flagella easily
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989A wet-mount technique for staining bacterial flagella is highly successful when a stable stain and regular slides and cover slips are used. Although not producing a permanent mount, the technique is simple for routine use when the number and arrangement of flagella are critical in identifying species of motile bacteria.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1967
ABSTRACT Equations are derived for the propulsive velocities and power dissipation of undulating hispid flagella. The observed rates of movement of water around the flagella of two chrysomonad flagellates and the translational speed of Ochromonas malhamensis agree closely with values calculated if it is assumed that the flagellar ...

Functions of Bacterial Flagella
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1996Many bacterial species are motile by means of flagella. The structure and implantation of flagella seems related to the specific environments the cells live in. In some cases, the bacteria even adapt their flagellation pattern in response to the environmental conditions they encounter.

Undulipodia, flagella and cilia
Biosystems, 1980The term flagella is ambiguous. It refers to bacterial structures composed of flagellin protein and to eukaryotic structures composed of microtubule proteins and ATPase (tubulin and dynein). The fact that cilia are nearly identical to eukaryotic flagella and have nothing in common with prokaryotic flagella is not apparent from the terminology.

Nature, 1955
IN orthodox bacteriology all flagella are curly. With the exception, however, of spirilla, which possess unchanging horny-looking curly appendages (Fig. 1) directly derived from the cell wall1, motile bacteria usually go forward with a fuzzy-looking straight tail (Fig. 2) and a twisting body2.

Construction of bacterial flagella
Nature, 1975The flagella of Salmonella can adopt a number of distinct helical forms. This article discusses the design of a subunit which packs to give a helical filament. Polymorphism is explained by small changes in the geometry of the subunit.
