Abstract
The statistical behavior of the bacterial flagellar motor matches that of a Poisson stepper that takes at least 400 steps per revolution. Using this fact, we study the effect of motor stochastics on experiments in which fluorescent motors, initially synchronized by polarization photobleaching, become uncorrelated.
