Growth of flagellar filaments of Escherichia coli is independent of filament length.

abstract：:After treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 133 independent mutants of a haploid strain of Escherichia coli able to use phenyl-beta-galactoside as a carbon source were obtained. The galactoside was specific in selecting for mutants with increases in their uninduced levels of beta-galactosidase. Virtuall...
