Nascent flagellar basal bodies are immobilized by rod assembly in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT Flagella are complex, trans-envelope nanomachines that localize in species-specific patterns on the cell surface. Here, we study the localization dynamics of the earliest stage of basal body formation in Bacillus subtilis using a fluorescent fusion to the C-ring protein FliM. We find that B...
