Bacteria rotate propeller-like flagella to find and colonize environmental niches. The flagellum is a complex machine, and the understanding of its structure is still incomplete. Here, we characterize and biochemically define the assembly order of the subunits that make up the axle-like rod. The rod is a critical structure for the assembly of subsequent components and is central to our understanding of how the flagellum is anchored but still free spinning within the context of the cell envelope.
