The bacterial flagellum is a macromolecular protein complex that enables motility in many species. Bacterial flagella self-assemble a strong, multicomponent drive shaft that couples rotation in the inner membrane to the micrometre-long flagellar filament that powers bacterial swimming in viscous fluids<sup>1-3</sup>. Here, we present structures of the intact Salmonella flagellar basal body<sup>4</sup>, encompassing the inner membrane rotor, drive shaft and outer-membrane bushing, solved using cr ...[more]
