The phenotypes of flhF deletion mutants in different bacteria
| Phenotype of flhF deletion mutants |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacteria | Flagella type | Flagellar number | Position | Motility |
| C. jejuni | Amphitrichous | Non-flagella | Lateral | Non-motile |
| P. aeruginosa | Monotrichous | Unchanged | Lateral | Fails to swarm |
| V. cholera | Monotrichous | Non- or lateral flagella | Lateral | Non-motile |
| B. subtilis | Peritrichous | Unchanged | More asymmetrical | Motile |
| B. burgdorferi | Polar PF unable to form a flat ribbon |
Less flagella | More asymmetrical | Non-motile |
