From: The dynamic behavior of bacterial macrofibers growing with one end prevented from rotating: variation in shaft rotation along the fiber's length, and supercoil movement on a solid surface toward the constrained end

Figure 1

The growth of tethered macrofibers 8 and 9. The contour length extension as a function of time of the two right-handed macrofibers, 8 (square symbols) and 9 (circle symbols), that grew from hanging wires and were used to measure the rotation rate gradients. Closed symbols = measurements, open symbols = exponential fit of the data: correlation = 0.99.
