The role of fimV and the importance of its tandem repeat copy number in twitching motility, pigment production, and morphology in Legionella pneumophila.

Archives of microbiology - 1 Aug 2010

Coil David A, Anné Jozef

Abstract excerpt

Twitching motility, a flagella-independent type of translocation of bacteria over moist surfaces, requires an array of proteins, including FimV. To investigate the role of this protein in twitching motility in Legionella pneumophila, we have generated a knockout mutant of fimV and characterized its phenotypic effects. In addition to a major reduction in twitching motility, deletion of the fimV gene caused a...
