The flagellar stator unit is an oligomeric complex of two membrane proteins (MotA 5 B 2) that
powers bi-directional rotation of the bacterial flagellum. Harnessing the ion motive force …

Several new structures of three types of protein complexes, obtained by cryo-electron
microscopy (cryo-EM) and published between 2019 and 2021, identify a new family of …

Many bacteria use the flagellum for locomotion and chemotaxis. Its bidirectional rotation is
driven by a membrane-embedded motor, which uses energy from the transmembrane ion …

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 …

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 bacteria require flagella for the ability to move, survive, and cause infection. The
flagellum is a complex nanomachine that has evolved to increase the fitness of each …

Bacterial flagella are nanomachines that enable cells to move at high speeds. Comprising
25 and more different types of proteins, the flagellum is a large supramolecular assembly …

Motility is important for the survival and dispersal of many bacteria, and it often plays a role
during infections. Regulation of bacterial motility by chemical stimuli is well studied, but …

The process by which bacterial cells build their intricate flagellar motility apparatuses has
long fascinated scientists. Our understanding of this process comes mainly from studies of …

Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is a Gram-negative aerobic rod-shaped bacterium with polar
flagella. It is the causative agent of visceral white spot disease in cultured fish, resulting in …
