Rapid surface motility in Bacillus subtilis is dependent on extracellular surfactin and potassium ion.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2003

Kinsinger Rebecca F, Shirk Megan C, Fall Ray

Abstract excerpt

Motility on surfaces is an important mechanism for bacterial colonization of new environments. In this report, we describe detection of rapid surface motility in the wild-type Bacillus subtilis Marburg strain, but not in several B. subtilis 168 derivatives. Motility involved formation of rapidly...
