Tethered bacteria Introduction If a single flagellar filament, hook or polyhook is attached to the substratum, the cell body will spin (Silverman & 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.
