Physical barrier that protects agains mechanical damage, such as stopping it bursting when it takes in water by osmosis, and excludes certain substances (4, 4) 4. Protects bacterium from other cells and helps groups of bacteria to stick together for future protection. also stops cells from drying out (5, 7) 5. large circle of DNA - possesses the genetic information for the replication of bacterial cells (7, 8) 8. for locomotion - aids movement of bacterium because its rigid, corkscrew shape and rotating base help the cell spin through fluids (9)
