  • Flagella are locomotry structures help in locomotion
    Flagella and pilli are considered as organelles
    All flagella have "H" antigens
    A flagellum has three components:
    1-Filament, which is made up of flagelin protein
    2- Hook, which is made up of different proteins
    3- Basal body, which contains a rod and rings
    In gram+ve bacteria, a flagellum has two rings embedded in cytoplasmic membrane e.g S ring and M ring
    But in gram -ve bacteria, a flagellum has 4 rings. L ring is present in outer membrane of cell wall, P ring is present in Peptidoglycans. And S, M rings are present in cytoplasmic membrane
    Motors rotate flagella. These motors have 2 imp. components
    1- Rotor, which spins
    2-Stator, which is stationary and made up of MOT-A, MOT-B proteins
    Endoflagella are present in spirochetes
    Bacteria move in response to phototaxsis or chemotaxsis
    Classification of bacteria on the basis of flagella
    1Atrichous bacteria
    2-Monotrichous bacteria
    3-Amhitrichous bacteria
    4-Lophotrichous bacteria
    5- Peritrichous bacteria
    Pilli and fimbriae are thread like structures help in attachment
    Pillus is made up of pillin proteins
    Pilli are not considered as locomotry structures, but pilli can help bacteria in twitching and gliding movement
    Main role of pilli is to help bacteria in conjugation
