Ancestral Sequence Reconstructions of MotB Are Proton-Motile and Require MotA for Motility
The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is a nanomachine that rotates the flagellum to propel many known bacteria. The BFM is powered by ion transit across the cell membrane through the stator complex, a membrane protein. Different bacteria use various ions to run their BFM, but the majority of BFMs are...
