Complex Spatial Organization and Flagellin Composition of Flagellar Propeller from Marine Magnetotactic Ovoid Strain MO-1

Marine magnetotactic ovoid bacterium MO-1 is capable of swimming along the geomagnetic field lines by means of its two sheathed flagellar bundles at a speed up to 300 μm/s. In this study, by using electron microscopy, we showed that, in each bundle, six individual flagella were organized in hexagon...
