Identification of a major glucose transporter in Flavobacterium johnsoniae: Inhibition of F. johnsoniae colony spreading by glucose uptake.

Abstract excerpt

Many members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, such as Flavobacterium johnsoniae, can glide over a solid surface: an ability called gliding motility. It can be usually observed on agar plates as thin, flat, spreading colonies with irregular, feathery edges; this phenomenon is called colony spreading. Colony spreading of F. johnsoniae on 1.5% agar plates containing poor nutrients is dose-dependently inhibited by...
