Swarming motility in Bacillus cereus and characterization of a fliY mutant impaired in swarm cell differentiation.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

This report describes a new behavioural response of Bacillus cereus that consists of a surface-induced differentiation of elongated and hyperflagellated swarm cells exhibiting the ability to move collectively across the surface of the medium. The discovery of swarming motility in B. cereus paralleled the isolation of a spontaneous non-swarming mutant that was found to carry a deletion of fliY, the homologue of...
