Surface hydrophilicity promotes bacterial twitching motility

mSphere
Twitching 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.

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

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.

Influence of Flagellin Polymorphisms, Gene Regulation, and Responsive Memory on the Motility of Xanthomonas Species That Cause Bacterial Spot Disease of Solanaceous Plants

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Increasingly, new evidence has demonstrated variability in the epitope regions of bacterial flagellin, including in regions harboring the microbe-associated molecular patterns flg22 and flgII-28 that are recognized by the pattern recognition receptors ...

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

Progress 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 ...

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.

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 ...
