In fact, unlike a *mechanical* motor, we can disrupt the genes controlling the delicate workings & the bacteria will evolve back to the functional form *surprisingly quickly*.
Or maybe that's how mechanical motors work too, but 'Big Auto Repair' don't want you to know that.

The rapid evolution of flagellar ion selectivity in experimental populations of E. coli
This study shows that bacteria can rapidly adapt to changes in their environment to preserve their ability to swim.
