| 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 ] | ||
