Nonequivalence of membrane voltage and ion-gradient as driving forces for the bacterial flagellar motor at low load.
Many bacterial species swim using flagella. The flagellar motor couples ion flow across the cytoplasmic membrane to rotation. Ion flow is driven by both a membrane potential (V(m)) and a transmembrane concentration gradient. To investigate their relation to bacterial flagellar motor function we deve...
