Figure 1. General structure of the bacterial flagellum.

Figure 1.

Diagrammatic representation of a bacterial flagellum structure based on flagella from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella typhimurium), alongside a flagellum structure determined by cryoelectron microscopy of the flagellum from Treponema primitia. Combined figure adapted with permissions from Nat Rev Microbiol (Pallen and Matzke, 2006) and Curr. Biol. (DeRosier 2006).
