Answer:

  • Fimbriae

Explanation:

  • Pili  and  fimbriae  are  bacterial  appendages which are not involved in locomotion.
  • Actually, pili are long, fewer and thick tubular outgrowths which develop in response to F+  or fertility factor in Gram negative bacteria.
  • Being long they are helpful in attaching to recipient cell and forming conjugation tube. Fimbriae are small bristle-like fibers sprouting from cell surface in large number.
  • There are 300-400 of them per cell. They are involved in attaching bacteria to solid surfaces.
