Regulation of the Single Polar Flagellar Biogenesis
Some bacterial species, such as the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus, have a single polar flagellum that allows it to swim in liquid environments.Two regulators, FlhF and FlhG, function antagonistically to generate only one flagellum at the cell pole.FlhF, a signal recognition particle (SRP)-type guanosine triphosphate (GTP)ase, works as a pos
