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 5

Micrographs showing the structure of macrofiber 82 before and after the formation of a marker at its distal tip that was used to measure tip rotation rates. The times of each frame relative to frame A are: A = 0, B = 41 min, C = 51 min, D = 60 min, E = 332 min, F = 357 min, G = 375 min, H = 398 min. Bar in frame A = 5 mm.
