Potential Role of Flavobacterial Gliding-Motility and Type IX Secretion System Complex in Root Colonization and Plant Defense

Members of the Flavobacterium genus are often highly abundant in the rhizosphere. Nevertheless, the physiological characteristics associated with their enhanced rhizosphere competence are currently an enigma. Flavobacteria possess a unique gliding-motility complex that is tightly associated with a r...
