Flagellin outer domain dimerization modulates motility in pathogenic and soil bacteria from viscous environments
It has been suggested that the outer domains of bacterial flagellins are not needed for motility. Here, the authors show that flagellar filament outer domains from some bacteria have unique structures which can alter the motility of the bacteria.
