Illustration of three flagellar motor-hook complexes from the bacterium Salmonella enterica. Flagella are hair-like structures that bacteria use for locomotion. The flagellar motor is a molecular machine embedded in the cell envelope that drives the rotation of the flagellum. The hook transmits the torque created by the motor to the flagellum. | |
