Surface hydrophilicity promotes bacterial twitching motility
mSphereTwitching motility is a form of bacterial surface translocation powered by the type IV pilus (T4P). It is frequently analyzed by interstitial colony expansion between agar and the polystyrene surfaces of petri dishes.

Bacterial Motility and Its Role in Skin and Wound Infections. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Skin and wound infections are serious medical problems, and the diversity of bacteria makes such infections difficult to treat. Bacteria possess many virulence factors, among which motility plays a key role in skin infections.

Chained Structure of Dimeric F1-like ATPase in
mBio, 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
Frontiers 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.

Bacterial tracking of motile algae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2003 Abstract We investigated whether bacterial motility and chemotaxis in the ocean enables bacteria to approach and follow microscopic, moving, point sources of nutrients. The turbulent nature of the ocean combined with the imprecision of run and tumble chemotaxis has led to the assumption that marine bacteria cannot cluster around microscopic point ...

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