For the other parts at both ends of the flagellum, structural and functional studies are underway.
The propagation velocity along the flagellum is given by f.
The short terminal section of the flagellum is called the endpiece and contains only the axoneme surrounded by the plasma membrane.
The subunit proteins are synthesized in the cell and transported to the distal end through the hollow core of the flagellum.
Here, we will first briefly summarize the structural design of the bacterial flagellum and its component proteins with respect to their functions and assembly mechanism.
Indeed, flagella handedness has no effect on the tumbling of short bacteria, as they make many turns before ending at a new angle.
Thus, the force distribution created by an activated motile flagellum will be affected by fluid viscoelasticity, as will the hydrodynamic power expended.
After centrifugation at 400g for 5 min, most of the maturing and matured (flagellum-generating) spermatid agglutinated in sticky masses and were discarded from the suspension.
