Motility promotes biofilm initiation during the early steps of this process: microbial surface
association and attachment. Motility is controlled in part by chemotaxis signaling, so it seems …

Spirochetes are a remarkable group of bacteria with distinct morphology and periplasmic
flagella that enable motility in viscous environments, such as host connective tissues. The …

The cytoplasmic ring (C-ring) of the bacterial flagellar motor controls the motor rotation
direction, thereby controlling bacterial run-and-tumble behavior. The C-ring has been shown …

Macromolecular cell-envelope-spanning structures such as the bacterial flagellum must
traverse the cell wall. Lytic transglycosylase enzymes are capable of enlarging gaps in the …
