How does bacteria move if it has an axial filament?

What does bacteria need in order to furrow onto human skin, does it need flagella or does it need axial filaments?

How does bacteria move if it has an axial filament?
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to this question (sorry!)





But I wanted to follow up on one of my other responses to your question "Is there a difference in the composition or function of the pariplasmic space of Gram + and G -?" and your comment: "Now I know where the Lysosomes live in G bacteria."





Bacteria do not have lysosomes. Lysosomes are specialized organelles that are only present in eukaryotes (lysosomes have membranes, and except for RARE exceptions, prokaryotes do not have internal membrane).





I think what you meant were 'degradative enzymes'. Although lysosome contain specific degradative enzymes, they do not contain all the degradative enzymes. Prokaryotes also have degradative enzymes, just not the kind found in lysosomes.
