Studies on gliding motility inMyxococcus xanthus
Archives of Microbiology, 19741. Gliding motility ofMyxococcus xanthus FBt is reversibly inhibited by treatment with proteolytic enzymes and with 10-3 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and by osmotic shock. Chloramphenicol inhibits regeneration of the ability to glide. Shearing and ultrasound treatments do not affect movement. 2.

1984
In 1892 Thaxter described the myxobacteria as “possessing a power of slow locomotion ... a distinctly visible movement characterizes the active rods and consists in a sliding locomotion in conjunction with lateral bending.” Almost one century later there are still conflicting ideas about the mechanism of gliding.

Characterization of gliding motility inFlexibacter polymorphus
Cell Motility, 1988AbstractMotility of the marine gliding bacteriumFlexibacter polymorphuswas studied by using microcinematographic techniques. Following adhesion to a glass surface, multicellular filaments and individual cells usually began to glide within a few seconds at a speed of approximately 12 μm per second (at 23°C).

Gliding motility of algae is unaffected by cytochalasin B
Experimental Cell Research, 1973The effect of the antibiotic cytochalasin B on gliding motility of Oscillatoria and Navicula was studied using time lapse microcinematography. Contrary to its effects on many other non-muscle motile systems, cytochalasin B did not significantly inhibit motility.

Multicellular development and gliding motility in Myxococcus xanthus
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003A great deal of progress has been made in the studies of fruiting body development and social gliding in Myxocococcus xanthus in the past few years. This includes identification of the bone fide C-signal and a receptor for type IV pili, and development of a model for the mechanism of adventurous gliding motility.

Gliding motility in Cytophaga.
Microbiological sciences, 1990Gliding motility in Cytophaga depends on a motility machinery that keeps surfaces of cells in motion and on a surface slime that allows motile cells to translocate over a substratum. The unusual nature of the moving cell surfaces appears to be responsible for several cell-surface properties being motility dependent.

Gliding Motility in Some Non‐spreading Flexibacteria
Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1973ABSTRACT. A plate technique for detecting gliding motility is described in which glass beads placed between agar surfaces and coverslips produced surrounding areas of liquid, thus allowing cells to move freely. Some relatively short non‐spreading flexibacteria glided obviously. The movements are described and also

Investigation of gliding motility in Bacteroidota
Bacteria from the phylum Bacteroidota move by gliding across surfaces. Movement of extracellular adhesins attached to a helically-arranged periplasmic track causes propulsion of cells in a corkscrewing motion. The gliding track is propelled by a rotary motor that also powers the Type 9 Secretion System (T9SS) that exports the gliding adhesins to the ...openaire +1 more source
