Lambert, et al. Characterizing the flagellar filament and the role of motility in bacterial prey-penetration by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus. 2006. Molecular Microbiology 60(2) pp.274-286. p.274 right column 2nd paragraphPubMed ID16573680

| Method |
"[Investigators] show that flagella are not always shed upon prey entry and [they] study the six fliC flagellin genes of B. bacteriovorus, finding them all conserved and expressed in genome strain HD100 and the widely studied lab strain 109J." |
| Comments |
"Bdellovibrio
are highly motile, swimming at speeds from
35µm/sec
for strain 109J up to 160
µm/sec
(this study) for
genome-sequenced strain HD100 (Rendulic
et al., 2004). Motility is achieved by rotation of a single polar, sheathed
flagellum (Shilo, 1969)." For ~100µm/s see PMID 22247169 p.1671 right column 4th paragraph, see comments of BNID 107652 |
