Swarming motility and the control of master regulators of flagellar biosynthesis.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt
Swarming motility is the movement of bacteria over a solid surface powered by rotating flagella. The expression of flagellar biosynthesis genes is governed by species-specific master regulator transcription factors. Mutations that reduce or enhance master regulator activity have a commensurate effect on swarming motility. Here we review what is known about the proteins that modulate swarming motility and appear...
