Surface Appendages
Map content
Surface Appendages
- These include flagella and fimbriae
Fiagella
- long, fine, wavy, filamentous appendages that protrude through the cell wall, responsible for motility of the bacteria. These are much thinner than flagella or cilia of eukaryotes.
Atrichous
- Flagella absent eg. Pasteurella, Lactobacillus
Monotrichous
- Only one flagellum attached at one pole of the organism. eg. Thiobacillus, vibrio
Amphitrichous
- One flagellum at both the ends eg. Nitosomonas
Cephalotrichous
- Two or more flagella attached at one end eg. Pseudomonas fluorescence
Lophotrichous
- Two or more flagella attached at both ends, eg Spirillum, voiutans
Peritrichous
- Flagella distributed all over the surface of the cell eg. Escherichia closthdium tetani
