EpsE or lacking motA and motB was consistent with a calculated root mean square angular deviation of ~80° in 90 s for a B. subtilis cell tethered by an unpowered flagellum freely rotating by Brownian motion (supporting online material). In contrast, the angular deviation is much less, ~3°, for an E. coli cell tethered by an immobilized flagellum (22). Thus, EpsE acted as a clutch; when EpsE was induced, the flagella behaved as though they were unpowered rather than immobilized. The biological function of the clutch appears to be related to the B. subtilis biofilm because epsE is encoded within the 15-gene eps operon that promotes the biosynthesis of the biofilm EPS and is repressed by SinR, the master regulator of biofilm formation. Therefore, control of a single locus ensures that cells become immobilized con-comitant with biofilm formation (fig. S5A). In wild-type cells, trapped flagella and puncta of EpsE were observed within biofilm aggregates, and the cells within the aggregates were sessile (fig. S6 and movie S5). Cells expressing the FliG V338A clutch-insusceptible allele formed aggregates, but the cells writhed within the confines of the matrix (movie S6). We hypothesize that the clutch helps to stabilize biofilms in the environment and acts as a fail-safe mechanism to ensure that flagella do not rotate while the cells are bound by EPS. The bacterial flagellum, powered by a motor that generates 1400 pN-nm of torque, can rotate at a frequency of greater than 100 Hz (23). EpsE disabled this powerful biological motor when associated with a flagellar basal body and, in a manner similar to that of a clutch, disengaged the drive train from the power source (fig. S5B). Clutch control of flagellar function has distinct advantages over transcriptional control of flagel-lar gene expression for regulating motility. Some bacteria, such as E. coli and B. subtilis, have many flagella per cell. The flagellum is an elaborate , durable, energetically expensive, molecular machine and simply turning off de novo flagellum synthesis does not necessarily arrest motility. Once flagellar gene expression is in-activated, multiple rounds of cell division may be required to segregate preexisting flagella to extinction in daughter cells. In contrast, the clutch requires the synthesis of only a single protein to inhibit motility. Furthermore, if biofilm formation is prematurely aborted, flagella once disabled by the clutch might be reactivated, allowing cells to bypass fresh investment in flagellar synthesis. Whereas flagellum expression and …
