Thesis
Investigation of gliding motility in Bacteroidota
- Abstract:
-
Bacteria from the phylum Bacteroidota move by gliding across surfaces. Movement of extracellular adhesins attached to a helically-arranged periplasmic track causes propulsion of cells in a corkscrewing motion. The gliding track is propelled by a rotary motor that also powers the Type 9 Secretion System (T9SS) that exports the gliding adhesins to the cell surface. Flavobacterium johnsoniae is the model organism used to study Bacteroidota gliding. In this organism, sustained gliding re...
