Impressive progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of bacterial chemotaxis and function of the flagellar motor, but how the direction of rotation is reversed by the 'flagellar switch'--a central step in chemotaxis--remains obscure and calls for new experimental approaches.
在理解细菌趋化性机制和鞭毛马达功能方面已取得了令人瞩目的进展,但“鞭毛开关”如何使旋转方向逆转——趋化性中的关键一步——仍不清楚,需要新的实验方法。
