Mutations in type I and type IV pilus biosynthetic genes affect twitching motility rates in Xylella fastidiosa.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2007

De La Fuente Leonardo, Burr Thomas J, Hoch Harvey C

Abstract excerpt

Xylella fastidiosa possesses both type I and type IV pili at the same cell pole. By use of a microfluidic device, the speed of twitching movement by wild-type cells on a glass surface against the flow direction of media was measured as 0.86 (standard error [SE], 0.04) microm min(-1). A type I pilus mutant (fimA) moved six times faster (4.85 [SE, 0.27] microm min(-1)) and a pilY1 mutant moved three times slower...
