The below mentioned article provides a study note on bacterial motility. Some bacteria are self-motile. They are able to swim through the liquid in which they live. They cannot crawl over dry surfaces or fly through the air. Motility is universal among the spirilla, common among the bacilli but lacking or rare in coccal forms. The organs of locomotion are [...]
