Role of the major determinant of polar flagellation FlhG in the endoflagella‐containing spirochete Leptospira

What is it about?

Spirochetes are helical or flat wave-shaped cells that possess a cellular ultrastructure unique to bacteria : internal organelles of motility, called periplasmic flagella, that are attached at each cell end. Here we describe the role of FlhF and FlhG in the biogenesis and localization of periplasmic flagella in Leptospira spp.
