Motor-Driven Bacterial Flagella and Buckling Instabilities
Reinhard Vogel, Holger Stark
Many types of bacteria swim by rotating a bundle of helical filaments also called flagella. Each filament is driven by a rotary motor and a very flexible hook transmits the motor t…

Force-extension curves of bacterial flagella
Reinhard Vogel, Holger Stark
Bacterial flagella assume different helical shapes during the tumbling phase of a bacterium but also in response to varying environmental conditions. Force-extension measurements b…
