Question
Chapter 2.12, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Several Archaea and Bacteria possess the ability to travel by swimming. Flagella, small rotating structures, is attached on the surface of the cell in several different locations. Movement by gliding is also observed in several Bacteria, however, only a small group has been well analyzed. Archaea showing gliding motility is not known.
