“…The presence of a functional flagellin pool in bacterial cells was inferred from Ouchterlony or quantitative precipitation tests on cell lysates of P. vulgaris and B. subtilis (D. Nasser and H. Koffler, Bacteriol Proc., p. 35, 1963; D. Weinstein, H. Koffler, and M. Moskowitz, Bacteriol. Proc., p. 63,1960) and also from the regeneration experiment on flagella of B. subtilis (148). However, Kerridge (109) studied the kinetics of isotope incorporation into flagella, and concluded that a functional pool of flagellin is not present in S. typhimurium.…”
