FlbB is crucial for assembly of the spirochete‐specific periplasmic flagellar collar. Cryo‐electron tomography of flagellar motors from wildtype (left) and Δ flbB (right) reveals the 3D collar structure, which is critical for flagellar orientation, cell morphology, motility, and stability of flagellar motors in Borrelia burgdorferi . For details, see the article by Moon et al . on pp. 336–348 of this issue.
