<i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i> expands across surfaces using hydraulic sliding

2020-09-22

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium smegmatis spreads over soft agar surfaces by sliding motility, a form of passive motility in which growth and reduction of surface adhesion enable the bacteria to push each other outwards. Hence, sliding motility is mostly associated with round colonies. However, M. smegmatis sliding colonies can also produce long, pointed dendrites. Round sliding colonies were readily reproduced, but our non-round...
