8 0

In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that those using it could end up with gastrointestinal diseases. The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.

Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas. In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.

Bacterial flagellum is composed of protein flagellum which looks like hollow tube. It passes through protein rings (basal body rings) in the cell's membrane that act as bearings. Flagellum is long, filamentous and it rotates via motor which is located on the inner cell membrane. The motor is powered by proton motive force (flow of protons through the membrane due to a concentration gradient).
