Surface translocation by Legionella pneumophila: a form of sliding motility that is dependent upon type II protein secretion.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 2009

Stewart Catherine R, Rossier Ombeline, Cianciotto Nicholas P

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila exhibits surface translocation when it is grown on a buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) containing 0.5 to 1.0% agar. After 7 to 22 days of incubation, spreading legionellae appear in an amorphous, lobed pattern that is most manifest at 25 to 30 degrees C. All nine L. pneumophila strains examined displayed the phenotype. Surface translocation was also exhibited by some, but not all,...
