Effects of agl gene deletions on flagellin glycosylation in M. maripaludis.
| Gene deletion | Function | Glycan structure | MW shift of flagellin | Flagella | Effect on motility |
| aglL | 4th GTase | Missing 4th sugar and Thr on 3rd sugar | Yes | Yes | Decreased compared to WT | aglA | 3rd GTase | Missing 3rd and 4th sugars | Yes | Yes | Decreased compared to aglL mutant | aglO | 2nd GTase | Missing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sugars | Yes | No | Nonmotile | aglB | OTase | No glycan | Yes | No | Nonmotile | MMP0350 | Acetyl transferase | Missing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sugars | Yes | No | Nonmotile | MMP1081 | Acetamidino transfer | Missing 4th sugar and acetamidino group of 3rd sugar | Yes | Yes | Decreased compared to WT | MMP1085 | Methyl transferase | Missing methyl group of 4th sugar | Yes | Yes | To be determined |
