Requirement of adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic phosphate for flagella formation in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
Adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphate (cyclic AMP) is absolutely required for flagella formation and, hence, motility in cyclic AMP-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
