Photoresponsive flagellum-independent motility of the purple phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2005

Shelswell Kristopher J, Taylor Terumi A, Beatty J Thomas

Abstract excerpt

We report the discovery of photoresponsive, flagellum-independent motility of the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus, a nonsulfur purple phototrophic bacterium. This motility takes place in the 1.5% agar-glass interface of petri plates but not in soft agar, and cells move toward a light source. The appearances of motility assay plates inoculated with wild-type or flagellum-deficient mutants indicate...
