Abstract
The Na+-dependent flagellum of Acetobacterium woodii was characterised , Flagellin and whole flagella were purified and analysed by SDS-PAGE and electron microscopy, The structure and dimensions of the filament and the hook-basal body, as revealed by electron microscopy, resemble those of H+-dependent flagella from Gram-positive bacteria. Intramembr ane particle rings were present at the cell pole in freeze-fractured A . woodii cells, which might correspond to the mot complex. (C) 1998 Fe deration of European Biochemical Societies.
