| Description | Periplasmic flagella are the organelles of spirochete mobility, and are structurally different from the flagella of other motile bacteria. They reside inside the cell within the periplasmic space, and confer mobility in viscous gel-like media such as connective tissue [ ]. The flagella are composed of an outer sheath of FlaA proteins and a core filament of FlaB proteins. Each species usually has several FlaA protein species []. | Name | Flagellar filament outer layer protein FlaA, Spirochaetes |
