Engineering Perspective on the Bacterial Flagellum: Part 2
Cohen et al. state:
The bacterial flagellum exemplifies a system where even small deviations
from the highly regulated flagellar assembly process can abolish motility and cause negative physiological outcomes. Consequently, bacteria …[possess] robust regulatory mechanisms to ensure that flagellar morphogenesis follows a defined path, with each component self-assembling to predetermined dimensions…

Nanoscale-length control of the flagellar driveshaft requires hitting the tethered outer membrane
The bacterial flagellum exemplifies a system where even small deviations from the highly regulated flagellar assembly process can abolish motility and cause negative physiological outcomes. Consequently, bacteria have evolved elegant and robust regulatory mechanisms to ensure that flagellar morphogenesis follows a defined path, with each component self-assembling to predetermined dimensions.
And no, putting the substitution in brackets does not lessen the misrepresentation of the original author’s meaning and intention here.
