abstract = {The surface distribution of flagella in peritrichous
bacterial cells has been traditionally assumed to be random.
Recently, the presence of a regular grid-like pattern of
basal bodies has been suggested. Experimentally, the
manipulation of the anchoring points of flagella in the cell
membrane is difficult, and thus, elucidation of the
consequences of a particular pattern on bacterial locomotion
is challenging. We analyze the bundle formation process and
swimming properties of Bacillus subtilis-like cells
considering random, helical, and ring-like arrangements of
flagella by means of mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations.
Helical and ring patterns preferentially yield
configurations with a single bundle, whereas configurations
with no clear bundles are most likely for random anchoring.
For any type of pattern, there is an almost equally low
probability to form V-shaped bundle configurations with at
least two bundles. Variation of the flagellum length yields
a clear preference for a single major bundle in helical and
ring patterns as soon as the flagellum length exceeds the
body length. The average swimming speed of cells with a
single or two bundles is rather similar, and approximately
$50\%$ larger than that of cells of other types of flagellar
organization. Considering the various anchoring patterns,
rings yield the smallest average swimming speed independent
of the type of bundle, followed by helical arrangements, and
largest speeds are observed for random anchoring. Hence, a
regular pattern provides no advantage in terms of swimming
speed compared to random anchoring of flagella, but yields
more likely single-bundle configurations.},
