Periplasmic flagella do not extend outside of the cell's outer membrane, but stay wrapped around the inner membrane compartment of the cell. These bacteria move by twisting their bodies like a cork screw. For more information about this, check out the spirochete flagella.

Identify the structure that cause bacteria to move aside from flagella?

Pili or fimbriae are hair-like structures on the surface of bacteria that can help with adherence to surfaces or other cells. Some bacteria can also move using a gliding mechanism, which does not involve flagella but rather a smooth movement across a surface. Additionally, some bacteria can move using structures called axial filaments or periplasmic flagella.

How does periplasmic space function?

The periplasmic space is a compartment found in gram-negative bacteria located between the inner and outer cell membrane. It functions to protect the cell from external stressors, store proteins and enzymes involved in nutrient uptake and cell wall synthesis, and help in the secretion of various molecules such as virulence factors or toxins. The periplasmic space also plays a role in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell.
