High-speed motility originates from cooperatively pushing and pulling flagella bundles in bilophotrichous bacteria
Bacteria propel and change direction by rotating long, helical filaments, called flagella. The number of flagella, their arrangement on the cell body and their sense of rotation hypothetically determine the locomotion characteristics of a species. The movement of the most rapid microorganisms has in...
