The multiple polar flagellar mutant of Vibrio

Species name: Vibrio alginolyticus

Nagoya University Michio Homma

The mutants of V. alginolyticus were isolated from the motility defective mutants who were poorly motile in soft agar medium. The number of polar flagella, as compared to the wild-type strain who has one flagellum at the pole, increased about tenfold. The flagella were observed by high-intensity dark-field microscope.
