Dynamic proton-dependent motors power type IX secretion and gliding motility in Flavobacterium.

Dynamic proton-dependent motors power type IX secretion and gliding motility in Flavobacterium.

Motile bacteria usually rely on external apparatus like flagella for swimming or pili for twitching. By contrast, gliding bacteria do not rely on obvious surface appendages to move on solid surfaces. Flavobacterium johnsoniae and other bacteria in the Bacteroidetes phylum use adhesins whose movement...
