A polar organelle is a structure at a specialised region of the bacterial polar membrane that is associated with the flagellar apparatus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This flagellum-associated structure can easily be distinguished from the other membrane regions in ultrathin sections of embedded bacteria by electron microscopy when the cell membrane is ...
Eukaryotic flagella are ATP-driven, while prokaryotic flagella can be ATP-driven (archaea) or proton-driven (bacteria). [22] Different types of cell flagellation are found depending on the number and arrangement of the flagella on the cell surface, e.g., only at the cell poles or spread over the cell surface. [23]
The engine is powered by proton-motive force, i.e., by the flow of protons (hydrogen ions) across the bacterial cell membrane due to a concentration gradient set up by the cell's metabolism (Vibrio species have two kinds of flagella, lateral and polar, and some are driven by a sodium ion pump rather than a proton pump [26]). The rotor ...
Thalassotalea euphylliae is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Thalassotalea with a single polar flagellum which has been isolated from the coral Euphyllia glabrescens. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Magnetospirillum is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic genus of magnetotactic bacteria, first isolated from pond water by the microbiologist R. P. Blakemore in 1975. [2] [3] They have a spiral (helical) shape and are propelled by a polar flagellum at each end of their cells.
Bradyrhizobium species are Gram-negative bacilli (rod-shaped) with a single subpolar or polar flagellum.They are common soil-dwelling micro-organisms that can form symbiotic relationships with leguminous plant species where they fix nitrogen in exchange for carbohydrates from the plant.
All members can produce endospores are most are motile by means of a single polar flagellum or peritrichous flagella. Colonies are generally light-yellow in colour. Most species are catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Rossellomorea can grow in temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 48 °C and generally also in the presence of 2–5% (w/v) NaCl ...
In solutions with NaCl concentrations of 0.6-1.5M, Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus produce and move by the movement of “a single unsheathed polar flagellum.” [2] In solutions with NaCl concentrations <0.2 or >1.5, M. hydrocarbonoclasticus are unable to produce flagella, and are thereby unable to influence their movement through medium.
