2. FLAGELLA : Flagella are hair like structure that protrude through the cell wall and are usually exceeding the length of bacteria Filament is made up of protein namely FLAGELLIN Swimming is one of the locomotion of bacteria in liquid movement which is aided by flagella

3. CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA BASED ON FLAGELLA Atrichous Monotrichous Cephalotrichous Amphitrichous Peritrichous Lophotrichou s

4. ATRICHOUS : Bacteria without flagella EXAMPLE : Xylella MONOTRICHOUS : Bacteria with single flagella at one end. EXAMPLE : Xanthomonas sp CEPHALOTRICHOUS : Bacteria with several flagella at one end. EXAMPLE: Pseudomonas fluorescens AMPHITRICHOUS : Bacteria with one flagella at both end. EXAMPLE : Pseudomonas sp

5. PERITRICHOUS : Bacteria with flagella all over its body . EXAMPLE: Erwinia sp LOPHOTRICHOUS : Two or more flagella at both the poles of the bacterium EXAMPLE : Spirillum types of bacteria
