Figure 3

Electron micrographs of R. leguminosarum and S. meliloti 1021 flagellar filaments stained with 1% uranyl acetate. (a) VF39SM is peritrichously flagellated; (b) 3841 has a subpolar flagellum; (c) S. meliloti 1021 is peritrichously flagellated. The flagellar filaments of (d) VF39SM and (e) 3841 appear to have a smooth surface and lack the ridging pattern observed on the surface of the complex flagella formed by (f) S. meliloti 1021. Bars: 500 nm for a, b and c; 100 nm for d, e and f.
