Temperature-dependent
flagellar antigen phase variation in Escherichia coli.
Effect of
flagellar mutations on Yersinia enterocolitica biofilm formation.
Because the flagellum is tied to a bacteria's ability to move, an understanding of the controls on the
flagellar system could help researchers learn how to immobilize harmful bacteria, and to hamper the flagellum-like systems that some bacteria use to infect host cells.
Two distinct
flagellar systems were identified for motility and adhesion functionality, as in other pathogenic E.
Measurements of the wings, the
flagellar segments, palpus segments, and legs are in millimeters (mm).
With the exception of the
flagellar motor that drives the corkscrew tail of a bacterium, nothing in nature uses rotary motion for propulsion in the way that vehicles designed by humans do.
swimming in small circles, the
flagellar force hardly displacing the head, or if only a
flagellar beat could be observed; and immotile--no movement.
Mammalian spermatozoa change their
flagellar movement during hyperactivation.
that are borne apically during the early larval stages start shifting downward gradually in late-stage larvae and finally become arranged segmentally during the postlarval and juvenile phases, when the
flagellar segments increase in number.
The
Flagellar World: Electron Microscopic Images of Bacterial Flagella and Related Surface Structures From More Than 30 Species
The OctoMag team has worked on other means of nanobot locomotion, including a system of artificial
flagellar movement inspired by the locomotion of bacteria, but this particular robot moves solely with the help of magnets.
aldrovandii Buhl, 2002, from Panama, but that species has more slender basal
flagellar segments and shorter metasoma than A.
