Hybrid Motor with H(+)- and Na(+)-Driven Components Can Rotate Vibrio Polar Flagella by Using Sodium Ions

The bacterial flagellar motor is a molecular machine that converts ion flux across the membrane into flagellar rotation. The coupling ion is either a proton or a sodium ion. The polar flagellar motor of the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus is driven by sodium ions, and the four protein componen...
