Flagella
- Another type of bacterial appendage is the flagella (singular, flagellum). They appear as strings protruding outward from a bacterium. They are long, up to ten times the length of the bacterium. Each flagellum is composed of a spiral arrangement of a protein (flagellin). The flagella are closed off at the end removed from the cell.

A bacterial appendage protrudes outward from the surface of the microorganism. Some are highly anchored to the surface, whereas others, like the glycocalyx , are loosely associated with the surface. The entire surface of a bacterium can be covered with glycocalyx (also known as the slime layer). The layer is made of chains of sugar.

The unit of measurement used in bacteriology is the micron (micrometer) which is one-thousandth of a millimeter.Bacteria are, in general one-tenth the size of the eukaryotic cell. On average, the size of bacteria ranges from 0.5 to 5 µm.However, they can be as tiny as 0.3 µm and as large as 0.7mm.The limit of resolution with the unaided eye is about 200 microns, and as many bacteria are smaller than this size, they are not visible with naked eyes.Image created using biorender.com 1. Most of the bacteria have a rigid cell wall that provides a definite shape to the bacteria while protecting the internal components. 2. Even though this characteristic is valid for the majority of bacteria, they vary in shape that allows them to be classified into different groups based on their forms. 3. This w...
Cocci bacteria can be arranged either singly, in pairs, in groups of four, in chains, in clusters or cubes consisting of eight cells.These cells remain attached during cell division.Bacillus
1. Bacilli are the bacteria which are rod-shaped and are present as single cells. 2. These bacteria can form endospores and are facultative anaerobes. 3. Examples: Salmonella enterica subsp, Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella choleraesuis.
Diplobacilli
1. As in Diplococci, Diplobacilli also exists in pairs. 2. After cell division, the two cells do not divide and grow in an attached arrangement. 3. Examples: Coxiella burnetii, Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis, Moraxella bovis.
Streptobacilli
1. In this group, bacteria are arranged in chains. 2. This results from cell division in a single chain. 3. Examples: Streptobacillus moniliformis, Streptobacillus Levaditi, Streptobacillus felis, Streptobacillus hongkongensis.
Vibrio
1. These are the slightly curved bacteria resembling a comma shape. 2. Examples: Vibrio mytili, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholera.
Spirochetes
1. Spirochetes are spiral bacteria having a helical shape. 2. These are flexible and have an axial filament which helps in motility. These filaments are essential distinguishing character between spirochetes and other bacteria. 3. These filaments run throughout the length of the bacteria and thus, help in twisting the motion of the bacteria. 4. Examples: Leptospiraspecies (Leptospira interrogans), Treponema pallidum, Borrelia recurrentis.
Spirilla
1. These bacteria are similar in structure with spirochetes but are more rigid. 2. They, too, have a flagellum but lack the endoflagella like in spirochetes. 3. Examples: Campylobacter jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Spirillum winogradskyi.
Appendaged Bacteria 1. The bacteria that produce a unique structure like pillus or fimbriae are called appendaged bacteria. 2. These bacteria are more virulent than other bacteria that do not form these appendages. 3. Example: Neisseria gonorrheae, the agent of Gonorrhea. Box-shaped/ Rectangular Bacteria 1. Box-shaped bacteria are rectangular in sh...

They differ from other bacteria in their mode of reproduction (i.e., budding). They can be non-motile. However, the motile forms are usually flagellated. The best examples of appendaged bacteria are Hypomicrobium and Rhodomicrobium.

Most budding bacteria develop cytoplasmic extrusions, such as stalks (Caulobacter), hyphae (Hyphomicrobium), and appendages (Stella). Budding bacteria are most often aquatic and can attach to surfaces by their stalks; others are free-floating.
Wood-degrading bacteria (lignicolous bacteria) belong to the group of heterotrophic bacteria, which are bacteria that extract energy from high- and low-molecular weight organic compounds. They have a biochemical system for degrading cellulose, hemicelluloses, and the lignin matrix.
