Role of type IV pili in predation by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Chanyi Ryan M, Koval Susan F

Abstract excerpt

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, as an obligate predator of Gram-negative bacteria, requires contact with the surface of a prey cell in order to initiate the life cycle. After attachment, the predator penetrates the prey cell outer membrane and enters the periplasmic space. Attack phase cells of B. bacteriovorus have polar Type IV pili that are required for predation. In other bacteria, these pili have the ability to...
