Heather McDonald DescriptionBacterial flagellar motors, which drive the rotation of whip-like appendages that propel bacteria rapidly forward, are extraordinarily beautiful and complex molecular machines. This graphic, which was a finalist in the 2016 "Vizzies" science visualization competition sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Popular Science, illustrates and summaries information about the motor’s structure, functional mechanisms, assembly, and evolution.
