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, a
