Gliding motor (IMAGE)
Caption
A whole cell image (left), motor images reconstructed from electron microscopy (middle), and a motor schematic (right) are shown. In the schematic, two sets of twin motors are connected. The flower like structure colored red and yellow shares its structure with ATP synthase, which is widely spread among organisms.
