Mutations in more than 30 genes affect motility in Caulobacter crescentus. We have determined the chromosomal map locations for 27 genes involved in flagellar morphogenesis (fla), three genes involved in flagellar function (mot), and three genes that have a pleiotropic effect on both motility and bacteriophage resistance (ple). Three multigene clusters have been detected at widely separated chromosomal locations, but in addition, there are 12 fla and mot genes that are found at eight additional sites scattered around the C. crescentus chromosome. Thus, there is more scatter of genes involved in flagellar structure and function than has been observed in other bacterial systems.
