Abstract excerpt
The lack of cell translocation and the resulting formation of nonspreading colonies of mutants of the gram-negative gliding bacterium Cytophaga johnsonae have been correlated with the loss of cell surface features of the organism. These cell surface traits include the ability to move polystyrene-latex beads over the cell surface and the ability to be infected by bacteriophages that infect the parent strain. In...
