Chapter 3, Problem 3TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that a pilus is a type of fimbriae, but a flagellum is not fimbriae.
Introduction:
The most common type of the prokaryotes is bacteria. They are found in every existing environment on the earth and although they are small in size but their biomass exceeds of animals and plants combined.
