a

Strains used include DRH665 (81–176 SmR ΔastA flaB::astA), the in vivo-isolated revertants DRH665 5W2 rev8, rev9, and rev10 and DRH665 5W6 rev10, DRH460 (81–176 SmR ΔflgS), DRH2853 (81–176 SmR ΔflgS flgR5W6rev10), DRH2724 (81–176 SmR ΔastA ΔflgS flaB::astA), and DRH2861 (81–176 SmR ΔastA ΔflgS flgR5W6rev10 flaB::astA).

b

FlgS protein produced in each strain

c

FlgR protein produced in each strain

d

Over 120 individual bacteria for each strain were examined to determine the percentage of bacteria producing each number of flagella.

e

Strains contain an in-frame deletion of the flgS coding sequence and do not produce FlgS.

f

Wild-type flgS has been replaced with the flgS allele from DRH665 5W6.

g

Wild-type flgR has been replaced with the flgR allele from DRH665 5W6 rev10.
