flagellum

Converse of object

• have: Only Bacteria have flagella of a totally different type.
• possess: All the small cells of the colony possess two flagella and a small eyespot.
• use: It is not just protists that use flagella for locomotion.
• encode: This indicates a common ancestry, although no TTSS sequence homologues for the genes encoding the flagellum are found.
• build: Research Title: How does Vibrio cholerae build a flagellum at its old cell pole?
• develop: Sometimes, however, an ameba will issue from the spore, remain quiescent for a few minutes, and then develop flagella.

Adjective modifier

• bacterial: The bacterial flagellum is driven by a proton motive force resulting from a gradient of protons.
• single: Polarity is clearly seen in Vibrio cholerae, a highly motile pathogen that swims by rapidly rotating a single polar flagellum.
• eukaryotic: The organization of these structures is quite different from that of eukaryotic flagella.
• posterior: The phylum Chytridiomycota has traditionally been characterized on the basis of motile cells with a single posterior flagellum.
• long: Haematococcus swims with the aid of two long flagella.
• polar: Polarity is clearly seen in Vibrio cholerae, a highly motile pathogen that swims by rapidly rotating a single polar flagellum.

Modifies a noun

• biogenesis: V. cholerae builds only one flagellum per cell, suggesting that there must be a close coupling between flagellum biogenesis and cell division.
• function: This latter finding is of critical importance since we also show that flagellum function is essential to the survival of bloodstream trypanosomes.

Noun used with modifier

• coli: The E coli flagellum has about 40 different kinds of proteins to make it work.
