Bacterial motility is powered by the rotation of its filaments, or flagella. Each flagellar motor is made up of a long filament, connected to a basal body embedded in the bacterial cell envelope. Over the past fifty years, advances in electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, together with genetic and biophysical studies, have allowed the piecing together of the motor’s organization.
