A defined medium to investigate sliding motility in a Bacillus subtilis flagella-less mutant.

BMC microbiology - 17 Mar 2006

Fall Ray, Kearns Daniel B, Nguyen Tam

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We have recently shown that undomesticated strains of Bacillus subtilis can extensively colonize the surfaces of rich, semi-solid media, by a flagellum-independent mechanism and suggested that sliding motility is responsible for surface migration. Here we have used a flagella-less hag null mutant to examine and confirm sliding motility. RESULTS: Using a defined semi-solid medium we determined that a...
