Genetic analysis of the bacterial flagellum.
Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium invest considerable resources in making flagella, motor organelles that function much like the propellers on a ship. Both classical and molecular genetic studies have begun to reveal how flagellar genes are regulated and how their products build and operate these remarkable devices.
