Building Bacterial Flagella

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1980
Most bacterial movement is the result of the action of a subcellular structure, the flagellar organelle. Bacterial flagella propel the cell by rotating, and this rotation is regulated in response to information transmitted by chemoreceptors on the surface of the cell. Rotation is driven by a motor anchored in the cell membrane.

Propulsion by Hispid Flagella

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 ...

Undulipodia, flagella and cilia

Biosystems, 1980
The 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.

Flagella and bacterial pathogenicity

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2012
AbstractAs locomotive organelles, flagella allow bacteria to move toward favorable environments. A flagellum consists of three parts: the basal structure (rotary motor), the hook (universal joint), and the filament (helical propeller). For ages, flagella have been generally regarded as important virulence factors, mainly because of their motility ...

Rapid Flagella Stain

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981
Leifson stain was modified to produce rapid staining of bacterial flagella on untreated microscope slides. The procedure was reliable when tested against a variety of motile and nonmotile bacteria.

Shape of Bacterial Flagella

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.
