Speed of the bacterial flagellar motor near zero load depends on the number of stator units

The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) rotates hundreds of times per second to propel bacteria, driven by an electrochemical ion gradient. The motor consists of a rotor 50 nm in diameter surrounded by up to 11 ion-conducting stator units which exchange between motors and a membrane-bound pool. Measurem...
