Flagellum-independent trail formation of escherichia coli on semi-solid agar.

Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry - 1 Aug 2003

Fukuoka Hajime, Homma Michio, Ichihara Shigeyuki

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli can form linear trails and move in a flagellum-independent manner on semisolid agar containing carbon sources. Trail formation seemed to correlate with the growth speed and/or carbon metabolism. Cell morphology in linear trails changed into larger cell sizes. We speculate that the flagellum-independent trail formation is a new mechanism for migration of E. coli cells.
