Cooperative stator assembly of bacterial flagellar motor mediated by rotation

Ito and co-workers unravel how bacteria such as Salmonella switch gears with their flagellar driving machinery. External load triggers the dynamic remodeling of the molecular complex sustaining the torque, and the number of stator units is adapted in a non-trivial, cooperative manner.
