flagella types with examples

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

4. 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 locomotion of
bacteria in liquid movement which is aided
by flagella

5. • ATRICHOUS :
Bacteria without flagella
EXAMPLE : Xylella
• MONOTRICHOUS :
Bacteria with single flagella at
one end.
EXAMPLE :Xanthomonas sp

6. • CEPHALOTRICHOUS :
Bacteria with several flagella at
one end.
EXAMPLE: Pseudomonas fluorescens
• AMPHITRICHOUS :
Bacteria with one flagella at
both end.
EXAMPLE : Pseudomonas sp

7. • 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
