The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the flagellum. On the other hand, the stators are smaller structures that contain "ion pathways," which can fit ...

In an article published in Cell Reports, Nagler’s team demonstrated that Clostridia-produced flagella and indole, a tryptophan metabolite, also promote barrier integrity. 3 To determine the role of ...
