Non-motile bacteria are bacteria species that lack the ability and structures that would allow them to propel themselves, under their own power, through their environment. When non-motile bacteria are cultured in a stab tube, they only grow along the stab line. If the bacteria are mobile, the line will appear diffuse and extend into the medium. [1]

In contrast to many bacilli-shaped bacteria, most cocci bacteria do not have flagella and are non-motile. [ 5 ] Cocci is an English loanword of a modern or Neo-Latin noun, which in turn stems from the Greek masculine noun κόκκος ( cóccos ) meaning 'berry'.
Cell division. All cells can be considered motile for having the ability to divide into two new daughter cells. [1]Motility is the ability of an organism to move independently using metabolic energy.
Coliform bacteria are defined as either motile or non-motile Gram-negative non-spore forming bacilli that possess β-galactosidase to produce acids and gases under their optimal growth temperature of 35–37 °C. [1] They can be aerobes or facultative aerobes, and are a commonly used indicator of low sanitary quality of foods, milk, and water. [2]
Streptococcus pyogenes is a species of Gram-positive, aerotolerant bacteria in the genus Streptococcus.These bacteria are extracellular, and made up of non-motile and non-sporing cocci (round cells) that tend to link in chains.
Bacteria (/ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i ə / ⓘ; sg.: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms.
Mycobacterial species are generally aerobic, non-motile, and capable of growing with minimal nutrition. The genus is divided based on each species' pigment production and growth rate. [6] While most Mycobacterium species are non-pathogenic, the genus' characteristic complex cell wall contributes to evasion from host defenses. [7]
