A
MS-Ring
B
C-Ring
C
A-Ring
D
P-Ring
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the gram-negative bacterial flagellum, which includes several rings that anchor the flagellum to the cell membrane and wall.
Identify the rings typically found in the basal body of gram-negative bacteria: MS-Ring, C-Ring, P-Ring, and L-Ring.
The MS-Ring is located in the cytoplasmic membrane, serving as a base for the flagellum.
The C-Ring is found in the cytoplasm and is involved in the motor function of the flagellum.
The P-Ring is located in the peptidoglycan layer, providing stability to the flagellum structure. The A-Ring is not part of the typical gram-negative basal body structure.
