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 7

The rotation of the distal tip of macrofiber 82 about the shaft of the fiber as a function of growth. The time intervals between 180° rotations (filled circles) were determined from the film sequence shown in additional file 1. The straight lines were drawn by eye through points at various sections of the curve. Open symbols represent rotation derived from observed length values fit using a model described in the text.
