Spatial arrangement of several flagellins within bacterial flagella improves motility in different environments
It is unclear why many bacteria have more than one gene encoding flagellin, the protein that makes up flagella. Here, the authors show that a particular arrangement of two different flagellins in the polar flagellum of Shewanella putrefaciens facilitates screw-like motility through obstructed enviro...
