| However, even under these conditions, cells with flagella have a mating advantage over aflagellate cells in the population. |
| Bacterial colonization involves multiple factors, including fimbriae or pili, flagella, and surface polysaccharides. |
| This bacterial strategy is reasonable, since the above-mentioned advantage would be lost if the planktonic cell had peritrichous flagella. |
| This study was designed to learn how well the flagella of groups of bacteria might move fluid in a microscopic environment. |
| Members of this group are also unusual among bacteria for the arrangement of axial filaments, which are otherwise similar to bacterial flagella. |
| Cilia and flagella are hairlike organelles extending from the cell surface. |
