Flagellar Assembly of E. coli
Description:
Flagella are hair like structures that help in locomotion of a cell or micro-organism. In gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli (E.coli), flagella are an important system of protein transport besides being involved in the movement. Flagella can be present all over the surface, at one end or at both ends of the bacterium. Normally a flagellum consists of a long filament as a molecular screw, a hook that functions as a universal joint and a basal body which is a rotary motor. More than 60 genes are beli...
