By Spirochaetes, a helical bacteria which have a specialized internal structure known as the axial filament which is responsible for rotation of the cell in a spiral fashion and consequent locomotion, sort of like a corkscrew motion.

Why do bacteria need to be motile?
Bacteria move from one place to the other in search of food
Describe how spirochaetes bacteria move?
Spirochaetes bacteria move by rotating and flexing their flexible, helical-shaped body. They use special appendages called axial filaments or endoflagella, which are located underneath the outer sheath, to generate the twisting motion. This unique flagellar arrangement enables spirochaetes to move through viscous environments, such as bodily fluids or mucus.
What are non motile bacteria?
Non-motile bacteria are ones that cannot move on their own accord. Many kinds of bacteria can move using flagella, axial filaments or can glide by producing slime. But non-motile ones can't move themselves.
How does gliding bacteria move?
by gliding dumbshit
Some bacteria has flagella that help them do what?
move
How do rhodospirillum rubrum move?
the rhodospirillum moves by swimming and using there waste to push them
Describe one advantage of each shape of bacteria?
the rod shaped bacteria has a large surface area the spiral shaped bacteria has "fingers" to help move and the spherical shaped bacteria are funny!
How does bacteria move out your lungs?
it's probably because flagellum makes bacteria move so there is a chance bacteria can move out of your lungs
What kinds of spirilla are there?
Rhodospirillum are purple non-sulphur bacteria that generate cellular energy by photosynthesis. Ocaenospirillum live in salt water habitats with high levels of sodium chloride concentration. Magnetospirillum move in relation to the earth's magnetic field. Azospirillum fixes nitrogen in symbiosis with certain plants. Phaeospirillum are purple bacteria that are able to convert light energy into chemical energy by a light driven cyclic electron transfer pathway.

what happen if Cholera causing bacteria have a single flagellum that allows these bacteria to?
move!
What bacteria does NOT move independently?
no exist,all bacterias can move independently
How do eugelena move?
eugelenas move by eating the bacteria that they fnd the most

flagella
Do bacteria gather food?
move to where the food is
