Q. Bacteria having clusters of flagella at both poles of cells are known as

A
Amphitrichous
B

Solution:
  • Amphitrichous – a single flagellum at both poles of the organism.
  • For example we have Aquaspirillum serpens
  • Only one flagellum operates at a time, allowing the bacterium to reverse course rapidly by switching which flagellum is active.
