title: Bacterial chemotaxis: unsolved mystery of the flagellar switch.
abstract: Impressive progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of bacterial chemotaxis and function of the flagellar motor, but how the direction of rotation is reversed by the 'flagellar switch'--a central step in chemotaxis--remains obscure and calls for new experimental approaches.
