<i>Pyrococcus furiosus</i> flagella: biochemical and transcriptional analyses identify the newly detected <i>flaB0</i> gene to encode the major flagellin

We have described previously that the flagella of the Euryarchaeon <i>Pyrococcus furiosus</i> are multifunctional cell appendages used for swimming, adhesion to surfaces and formation of cell-cell connections. Here, we characterize these organelles with respect to their biochemistry and...
