The Prokaryotes

1 Introduction

It is apparent that the majority of prokaryotic species move around their environment, either actively swimming using flagella, or gliding over surfaces. Although a lot less is understood about gliding, we know that swimming uses the most complex organelle identified in prokaryotes. The flagellum is the product of the controlled expression of up to 50 genes, producing an organelle which has components in the cytoplasm, the cytoplasmic membrane, the outer membrane and externally. This flagellar structure can rotate at speeds of up to 350 Hz to move a bacterium at well over 20 µm/sec through its environment. Incredibly, if driven by sodium rather than protons the flagellum can rotate at over 1,300 Hz, moving cells at speeds as great as 150 µm/sec. Unlike gliding, which may have evolved independently several times during evolution, flagellar driven motility may have only evolved once, as all bacteria and archaea seem to have flagella built along similar patterns, although...
