Design Principles of the Rotary Type 9 Secretion System

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Fo ATP synthase, the bacterial flagellar motor, and the bacterial type 9 secretion system (T9SS) are the three known proton motive force driven biological rotary motors.

Effects of Bacterial Motility on Dynamic Succession of Biofilms and Settlement of the Mussel Mytilus coruscus

open access: yesProgress in Fishery Sciences, 2023
To study the regulatory role of marine bacterial motility on biofilm formation and settlement of marine bivalves, this study used the economically important marine mussel Mytilus coruscus as the research target, and investigated the wild-type strain and ...

Chained Structure of Dimeric F1-like ATPase in Mycoplasma mobile Gliding Machinery

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Mycoplasma mobile, a fish pathogen, exhibits gliding motility using ATP hydrolysis on solid surfaces, including animal cells. The gliding machinery can be divided into surface and internal structures. The internal structure of the motor is composed of 28

A Pili-Driven Bacterial Turbine

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
Work generated by self-propelled bacteria can be harnessed with the help of microdevices. Such nanofabricated microdevices, immersed in a bacterial bath, may exhibit unidirectional rotational or translational motion.

Single‐Cell Motility Rapidly Quantifying Heteroresistance in Populations of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium

open access: yesSmall Science, 2022
Heterogeneous bacterial populations can display increased resistance to external threats, such as exposure to antibiotics. Despite the mounting clinical evidence supporting the importance of bacterial heterogeneity in acute infections, current ...

An experimental and computational study of the effect of ActA polarity on the speed of Listeria monocytogenes actin-based motility. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that moves within infected cells and spreads directly between cells by harnessing the cell's dendritic actin machinery. This motility is dependent on expression of a single bacterial surface protein, ActA,

Characterization of C-ring component assembly in flagellar motors from amino acid coevolution [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Bacterial flagellar motility, an important virulence factor, is energized by a rotary motor localized within the flagellar basal body. The rotor module consists of a large framework (the C-ring), composed of the FliG, FliM and FliN proteins.

YSMR: a video tracking and analysis program for bacterial motility. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2020
Motility in bacteria forms the basis for taxis and is in some pathogenic bacteria important for virulence. Video tracking of motile bacteria allows the monitoring of bacterial swimming behaviour and taxis on the level of individual cells, which is a ...
