Phylogenomics of the archaeal flagellum: rare horizontal gene transfer in a unique motility structure

BACKGROUND: As bacteria, motile archaeal species swim by means of rotating flagellum structures driven by a proton gradient force. Interestingly, experimental data have shown that the archaeal flagellum is non-homologous to the bacterial flagellum either in terms of overall structure, components and...
