Assembly of hybrid flagellar filaments.
The distribution of flagellin subunits in flagellar filaments synthesized by merodiploid strains carrying two distinguishable hag loci has been examined. The filament was found to be a homogeneous co-polymer of the two subunits. This suggests that the subunits may be able to mix freely before being assembled.
