Abstract
Catch a tiger by the tail: We have demonstrated that by feeding nonmotile mutant C. jejuni bacteria with a neutral azide-labelled pseudaminic acid precursor we can restore their ability to generate functional flagella. The presence of azido-pseudaminic acid on the surface of the flagella provides a bio-orthogonal chemical handle that can be used to modify the flagellar proteins.Entities:
