Editing Flagellum (section)

====Assembly====
During flagellar assembly, components of the flagellum pass through the hollow cores of the basal body and the nascent filament. During assembly, protein components are added at the flagellar tip rather than at the base.<ref name="MinaminoReview1">{{cite journal |last1=Minamino |first1=Tohru |last2=Imada |first2=Katsumi |last3=Namba |first3=Keiichi |title=Mechanisms of type III protein export for bacterial flagellar assembly |journal=Molecular BioSystems |date=2008 |volume=4 |issue=11 |pages=1105–1115 |doi=10.1039/b808065h |pmid = 18931786}}</ref> ''In vitro'', flagellar filaments assemble spontaneously in a solution containing purified flagellin as the sole protein.<ref name="Asakura1">{{cite journal |last1=Asakura |first1=Sho |last2=Eguchi |first2=Goro |last3=Iino |first3=Tetsuo |title=Reconstitution of bacterial flagella in vitro |journal=Journal of Molecular Biology |date=October 1964 |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=42–IN9 |doi=10.1016/S0022-2836(64)80026-7 | pmid = 14222895}}</ref>
