I thought that was obvious.

Well duh, sure, but not when you consider the recent studies related to the interaction of isolated bacterial flagellum filaments (BFF) and intact flagella from E. coli MS 1350 and B. brevis G.-B.p+ with rabbit skeletal myosin where BFF were shown to coprecipitate with myosin (
but not with isolated myosin rod!!) at low ionic strength, that is, under conditions of myosin aggregation.
