    • Asymmetry in the Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise Rotation of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor 

      Yuan, Junhua; Fahrner, Karen Alicia; Turner, Linda; Berg, Howard (National Academy of Sciences, 2010)
      Cells of Escherichia coli are able to swim up gradients of chemical attractants by modulating the direction of rotation of their flagellar motors, which spin alternately clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW). Rotation ...

    • Mutations That Stimulate flhDC Expression in Escherichia coli K-12 

      Fahrner, Karen Alicia; Berg, Howard Curtis (American Society for Microbiology, 2015)
      Motility is a beneficial attribute that enables cells to access and explore new environments and to escape detrimental ones. The organelle of motility in Escherichia coli is the flagellum, and its production is initiated ...

    • Switching of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor Near Zero Load 

      Yuan, Junhua; Fahrner, Karen Alicia; Berg, Howard (Elsevier, 2009)
      Flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, are able to swim up gradients of chemical attractants by modulating the direction of rotation of their flagellar motors, which spin alternately clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise ...
