When such preparations are dried, the wavy threads can be stained with so-called flagellar stains, and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is ...

This is a differential medium used to determine whether an organism is equipped with flagella and thus capable of swimming away from a stab mark. The results of motility agar are often difficult to ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin around to propel themselves ... Thus, understanding the molecular mechanism of flagellar motility will be key ...
