In 1971, Alder and Pamphilis separated the basal body of a flagellum of B. subtilis and E. coli and examined its fine composition and alignment of rings. The basal body combines the flagellum to the plasma membrane and the cell wall. It comprises a small central rod administered into a sequence of rings.  


In Gram-negative bacteria two pairs of rings, that is, the distal ring and the proximal ring are attached with a central rod. There are two pairs of rings, that is, four rings are P or peptidoglycan ring, L or lipopolysaccharide ring, M or membrane ring, and S or super membrane ring.

The L and S-rings present in the basal body of a flagellum are called as Lipopolysaccharide ring and super membrane ring respectively.  

Explanation:

The L-ring is called as FlgH and it acts as outer membrane and it is the structure through which organelles such as rod, hook and flagellum passes through.

The S-ring of flagella denotes the plasma membrane of the flagella and it is composed of protein called FliF. It is the region below which M-ring which acts as cytoplasm is present.
