The depicted type of flagellum is found in bacteria such as <i>E. coli</i> and <i>Salmonella</i>, and rotates like a propeller when the bacterium swims. </p> The bacterial movement can be divided into 2 kinds: <i>run</i>, resulting from a counterclockwise rotation of the flagellum, and <i>tumbling</i>, from a clockwise rotation of the flagellum. |
