Illustration showing the structure of the flagellum (yellow) of a bacterium and its internal motor. A flagellum is a threadlike structure used by bacteria to swim. This motor induces rotation in the flagellum, using ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The motor comprises of a ring shaped torque generator, known as a stator, a central rotor and a rod that turns the flagellum. | |
