Document Summary
If they are moving in the right direction they continue but if they go in the wrong direction they stop and try to find the right direction. Found on gram negative bacteria the most, usually absent on gram positive bacteria. Fimbriae are not used for movement they are used mainly for attachment. The fimbriae is usually attached to the outer membrane. Chaperone helps the protein and carries it to the usher. Chaperone carries the first subunit to the usher and the usher will take it, then another subunit tis brought to it and the first one is pushed out and so on and so forth. The fimbriae is built from the pushed out subunits. The fi(cid:373)(cid:271)riae is (cid:373)ade fro(cid:373) the (cid:271)ase a(cid:374)d if it is (cid:271)roke(cid:374) (cid:455)ou (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t fi(cid:454) it. The first subunit on the fimbriae is the addsion subunit which is used to attach to other surfaces.
