| bacterial flagella | <microbiology> Thin filaments composed of flagellin sub units that are rotated by the basal motor assembly and act as propellors. If rotating anticlockwise (as viewed from the flagellar tip) the bacterium moves in a straight path, if clockwise the bacterium tumbles. (18 Nov 1997) |
