General Information
Term periplasmic flagellum ID (Ontology) GO:0055040 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Flagellar filaments located in the periplasmic space; characterized in spirochetes, in which they are essential for shape and motility. Composed of a core surrounded by two sheath layers, the flagella rotate to allow migration of the cell through viscous media, which would not be possible using external flagella.[ PubMed:15175283 PubMed:1624463 ]
