Genetic and functional evidence that Type IV pili are required for social gliding motility in Myxococcus xanthus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1995

Wu S S, Kaiser D

Abstract excerpt

The social gliding behaviour of Myxococcus xanthus has previously been associated with the presence of polar pili. A Tn5 transposon insertion was isolated which introduces a defect in social gliding and is genetically linked to a known sgl locus; this insertion was found also to cause a piliation...
