Bacteria

Bacterial flagellum
- Most commonly, one flagellum creates a "run and twiddle" movement where
bacteria can achieve [[chemotaxis]]
- [[Spirochaeta]] have their flagellum throughout the inside of the cell,
which allows movement through viscous materials
- By default, bacteria are Gram-negative, except for [[Fermicutes]]:
Gram-negative bacteria form a [[symplesiomorphy]]
