Influence of Physical Effects on the Swarming Motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Biophysical journal - 11 Apr 2017

Yang Alexander, Tang Wai Shing, Si Tieyan, Tang Jay X

Abstract excerpt

Many species of bacteria can spread over a moist surface via a particular form of collective motion known as "surface swarming". This form of motility is typically studied by inoculating bacteria on a gel formed by 0.4-1.5% agar, which contains essential nutrients for their growth and proliferation. Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its pili-less mutant, ΔPilA, we investigate physical factors that either...
