Abstract
Bacterial flagella are locomotive organelles which consist of protein fibers 120 to 180 Å in diameter and 15μ in maximum length, extending outward from the cell body. An end of a flagellar fiber is connected with a basal body under the cell membrane. A flagellar fiber is a tubular polymer of a single kind of acidic globular protein called flagellin. Its arrangement in a flagellum and its biochemical characteristics were discussed by Drs. H. Koffler and M. Simon in the preceding sections of this symposium.
