Effects of pH of the medium on flagellation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Formation of the lateral flagella by Vibrio parahaemolyticus was inhibited under an alkaline condition of the medium. However, flagellation of the polar monotrichous flagellum was not affected in the same condition. Flagellation of the lateral flagella depended on the pH of the medium.
