Function

Location

Pili or fimbrae

Required for bacterial conjugation

On the surface, embedded in cell membrane

Flagella

Bacterial cell motility

On the surface, embedded in cell membrane; numbers vary from 1 to multiple

Capsule

Outside the cell envelope

Protection from antibiotics, mechanical stress and desiccation

PHB inclusion

Present in the bacterial cytoplasm

Acts as storage granules in bacteria

Sulfur granules

Inclusion bodies in cytoplasm

May aid in metabolism- bacteria that use Hydrogen sulfide as electron source for respiration

Magnetosomes

Membranous organelles that are present in magnetotactic bacteria; containing magnetic crystals

Help the bacteria orient in geomagnetic field to search proper environment

Endospores

Generally present in the cytoplasm

Helps the bacterial cells propagate asexually in extreme conditions

LPS layer

Part of cell wall in Gram negative bacterial cells

Protection of the cells, transport of materials and also imparts pathogenicity to the bacterial cells

Cell wall

A part of the cell envelope, surrounding cell membrane

Protection of the cells, transport of materials and maintenance of osmotic pressure.
