Bacterial chemotaxis: unsolved mystery of the flagellar switch.
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.
