Swimming Motility, a Virulence Trait of Ralstonia solanacearum, Is Regulated by FlhDC and the Plant Host Environment
Swimming motility allows the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum to efficiently invade and colonize host plants. However, the bacteria are essentially nonmotile once inside plant xylem vessels. To determine how and when motility genes are expressed, we cloned and mutated flhDC, which enco...
