Bacteria move by a variety of mechanisms, but the best understood types of motility are
powered by flagella. Flagella are complex machines embedded in the cell envelope that …

Many bacteria swim by means of flagella that are rotated by a nanoscale motor embedded in
the cell membrane. Torque is generated by the interaction between ion-conducting …

Bacterial flagellar motors are rotary machines that can power motility in various fluid and
surface environments, including within hosts. Activation of the stator complex MotA/MotB is …

Many motile bacteria swim or swarm using a filamentous rotating organelle, the flagellum.
FliL, a component protein of the flagellar motor, is known to enhance the motor performance …

The bacterial flagellum is a complex macromolecular machine that drives bacteria through
diverse fluid environments. Although many components of the flagellar motor are conserved …

The flagellar motor is a bidirectional rotary nanomachine used by many bacteria to sense
and move through environments of varying complexity. The bidirectional rotation of the …

The survival and successful spread of many bacterial species hinges on their mode of
motility. One of the most distinct of these is swarming, a collective form of motility where a …

Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens is a soil alphaproteobacterium that possesses two
evolutionarily distinct flagellar systems, a constitutive subpolar flagellum and inducible …

The flagellar components of Vibrio spp., PomA and PomB, form a complex that transduces
sodium ion and contributes to rotate flagella. The transmembrane protein PomB is attached …

The bacterial flagellar stator is a unique ion-conducting membrane protein complex
composed of two kinds of proteins, the A subunit and the B subunit. The stator couples the …
