Tethered bacteria Introduction If a single flagellar filament, hook or polyhook is attached to the substratum, the cell body will spin (Silverman and Simon, 1974). The first movie shows tethered Streptococcus (Manson et al., 1980). The next two show tethered E. coli. Other tethered cells are shown under Miscellaneous movies: Attractant pipette, Electrorotation, Measuring torque.
