Swarming motility in undomesticated Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 2003

Kearns Daniel B, Losick Richard

Abstract excerpt

Swarming motility was identified and characterized in an undomesticated strain of Bacillus subtilis. Rapid surface migration was preceded by a cell density-dependent lag period, which could be eliminated if actively swarming cells were used as the inoculum. The leading edge of the swarm was chara...
