title = "A rotary biomotor: Structure, characteristics and regulation",
abstract = "To analyze the motor function of a bacterial cells, a laser dark-field microscopy technique is developed by which high-speed rotation of a single flagellum can be measured. A method is proposed to hold a single bacterial cell body at the tip of a glass micropipette so that it is possible to change the membrane voltage by applying electric pulses through the micropipette and simultaneously measure the rotation rate. It is demonstrated that the flagellar motor rotation can be controlled by an external electric field.",
