Endoflagella are the special flagella of spirochetes that spiral tightly around the cell instead of protruding into the environment. Together, these endoflagella form an axial filament that wraps around the cell and rotates, enabling it to “corkscrew” through its medium.

Spirochetes are unique in that they have endocellular flagella (axial fibrils, or axial filaments), which number between 2 and more than 100 per organism, depending upon the species. Each axial fibril attaches at an opposite end and winds around the cell body, which is enclosed by an envelope...
