Abstract
The distribution of flagellin subunits in flagellar filaments synthesized by merodiploid strains carrying two distinguishable hag loci has been examined. The filament was found to be a homogeneous co-polymer of the two subunits. This suggests that the subunits may be able to mix freely before being assembled.
