Title:
The Question of Bacterial Flagellae (Zur Frage der Bakterien-Geisseln)
Corporate Author:
ARMY BIOLOGICAL LABS FREDERICK MD
Report Date:
1968-09-01
Abstract:
The theory that motile bacteria are motivated by flagellae is questioned in this report. Instead, it is demonstrated that the movement occurs through a spiral motion of the body of the bacterium and that the capsule of the bacteria consists of spiral filaments which in stained material resemble flagellae.
