The bacterial flagellum is a motility organelle. The flagellum is composed of three main structures: the basal body as a rotary engine embedded in the cellular membranes and cell wall, the long external filament that acts as a propeller, and the hook acting as a universal joint that connects them. I describe protocols for the purification of the filament and hook-basal body from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
