Detailed explanation-1: -The bacterial flagellar motor is powered by the transmembrane electrochemical gradient of ions, namely ion motive force (IMF) and rotates the flagellar filament to generate thrust to propel the cell body. The maximum motor speed reaches 300 revolutions per second in E.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flagella are the organelles for bacterial locomotion. These supramolecular structures extend from the cytoplasm to the cell exterior and are composed of three major structural elements, the basal body, the hook and the filament (Fig. 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Flagella are complex machines embedded in the cell envelope that rotate a long extracellular helical filament like a propeller to push cells through the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacterial flagella are filamentous organelles that drive cell locomotion. They thrust cells in liquids (swimming) or on surfaces (swarming) so that cells can move toward favorable environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gliding motility is the ability of certain rod-shaped bacteria to translocate on surfaces without the aid of external appendages such as flagella, cilia, or pili.
