Conditional requirement of SglT for type IV pili function and S-motility in Myxococcus xanthus.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Apr 2020

Troselj Vera, Pathak Darshankumar T, Wall Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Myxobacteria exhibit complex social behaviors such as predation, outer membrane exchange and fruiting body formation. These behaviors depend on coordinated movements of cells on solid surfaces that involve social (S) motility. S-motility is powered by extension-retraction cycles of type 4 pili (Tfp) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) that provide a matrix for group cellular movement. Here, we characterized a new class...
