Nonhelical mutant cells of Spirillum volutans ATCC 19554 can swim as fast as the helical cells. Consequently, a helical cell shape is not required for motility of this species, and the function of the polar flagellar fascicles is not merely to cause rotation, and therefore translocation, of the corkscrew-shaped cell.
迂回螺菌ATCC 19554的非螺旋突变细胞能够游得和螺旋细胞一样快。因此,该物种的运动并不需要螺旋状的细胞形态,而且极鞭毛束的功能不仅仅是引起螺旋状细胞的旋转,进而实现细胞移位。
