A little story (in plain German) on how bacteria may employ several flagellins to form a filament that works best under various conditions.

It even made the title of the latest issue of the Biospektrum.

Flo's and Tim's story on polar recruitment of PdeB by HubP has been elected as an articel of significant interest in the current issue of J. Bacteriol.

23.01.2019

The paper on polar localization of PdeB is now out in J. Bacteriol. Pleasure to work with the Bange Lab.

The work is part of the fantastic DFG priority program SPP 1879.
