 Basal Bodies are small complex structures embedded in cell surface to which flagella hook is connected[1]. 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[2].
