In the absence of stimuli, halobacterial cells spontaneously switch the rotational sense of their flagellar bundle. The time course of the probability for spontaneous motor switching was calculated from frequency distributions and was shown to be independent of the rotational sense [22]. Switching occurs with a constant probability per unit of time except in the early phase immediately after a switching event. Kinetically, spontaneous switching...
