[Sliding motility and biofilm formation in mycobacteria].

Acta cientifica venezolana - 1 Jan 2001

Recht J, Martínez A, Torello S, Kolter R

Abstract excerpt

Using as a model Mycobacterium smegmatis, a non-motile microorganism, we have studied for the first time in mycobacteria the phenomenon known as sliding motility, as well as the process of biofilm formation. A screen of random transposon mutants was performed in order to identify the genes required for mycobacterial sliding over the surface of motility plates. The genetic analysis described here has been...
