Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors have written a very comprehensive and accessible review article covering most, if not all, facets of flagellar assembly.  I have no suggestions or comments other than to thank the authors for their careful and authoritative treatment of this topic- well done!

One thought that the authors are free to ignore- is the mechanism by which FigE generates a bent section, as opposed to all the other Fig's that result in straight sections, known?

I did find a few minor spelling errors: 'Rod Adaptater' should be 'Rod Adapter' in Figure 1 and 'dependant' on line 311.  This is why I must 'accept after minor revision'.

Again, this manuscript is a fantastic effort!

Thank you !

Thank you for this question. We added this information in lines 169 to 171 and added the corresponding reference (Fujii et al., 2018).

Rod adapter was modified in figure 1 and figure 2. Dependant was change by dependent.

Again, this manuscript is a fantastic effort!

Again, thank you !

Reviewer 2 Report

This is an extremely well written and thorough review on Pseudomonas flagella. The information is well researched and put together in a clear and concise manner. The figures are also very well done and add to the review.

Only two minor things are noted by this reviewer

Specific Comments:

Under Table 1 explain what transcription class I, II, III and IV mean

Lines 224-225: Is there a reason that H and I are not (H.) and (I.)?  Any why they are also not bolded?  Just a formatting issue

These informations are added in a footer table 1

Lines 224-225: Is there a reason that H and I are not (H.) and (I.)?  Any why they are also not bolded?  Just a formatting issue

It was just a mistake !
