Summary Introduction
Several Archaea and Bacteria possess the ability to travel by swimming. Flagella, small rotating structures, is attached on the surface of the cell in several different locations. Movement by gliding is also observed in several Bacteria, including cyanobacteria (filamentous), myxobacteria (gram-negative bacteria), and species of Flavobacterium and Cytophaga. Often in nature, bacterial and archaeal cells encounter components of chemical and physical agents. These bacterial cells evolved ways to respond to such gradients either by moving away or by moving toward the element.
