Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2020 Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) that impair ciliary beating cause a variety of motile ciliopathies, a heterogeneous group of rare disorders. The pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical symptoms and severity of

Motility Assay: Twitching Motility [PDF]
, 2014 Twitching motility is a mode of solid surface translocation that occurs under humid conditions on semisolid or solid surfaces, is dependent on the presence of retractile type IV pili and is independent of the presence of a flagellum. Surface translocation via twitching motility is powered by the extension and retraction of type IV pili and can manifest

The role of the motility of Methylobacterium in bacterial interactions in drinking water [PDF]
, 2018 Bacterial motility is one important factor that affects biofilm formation. In drinking water there are key bacteria in aggregation, whose biology acts to enhance the formation of biofilms. However, it is unclear whether the motility of these key bacteria
