Requirements for swarming ability by lateral flagella on an agar surface in marine Vibrio cells
The marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus and the food poisoning bacterium V. parahaemolyticus possess two types of flagella in one cell: proton-driven lateral flagella (Laf) extending from the periphery of the cell body, and sodium ion-driven polar flagella (Pof) extending from a cell pole. For swimming in seawater th...
