Flagellar toxicity: Flagellar synthesis is lytic for Bacillus subtilis in the absence of PBP1.
The results indicate that flagellar synthesis, not normally associated with cell viability, causes cell wall stress and under some conditions, cell death, and specialized systems may be needed to compensate for the assembly of transenvelope machines in general.
