 Basal Bodies are small complex structures embedded in cell surface to which flagella hook is connected<ref>Neidhardt FC, Ingraham JL, Schaechter M. Physiology of the Bacterial Cell: A Molecular Approach. Massachusetts: Sinauer Associates. 1990.</ref>. The basal bodies of the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria vary due to the difference in their outer envelope stuctures. They contain 15 or more proteins that cluster together to form a rod to which 4 rings are attached in Gram-negative bacteria and 2 rings in Gram-positive bacteria<ref>Neidhardt FC, Ingraham JL, Schaechter M.
