Motility of bacteria in sediments
Motility and chemotactic responses to dissolved organic matter of bacteria living within different types of sediments were investigated down to 35 cm beneath the sediment surface. At least 20% of bacteria swim, although they often attach temporarily to solid surfaces, and they respond to point sources of organic matter. Altogether their motile behaviour and their relative densities are very sim...
متن کاملMotility of Electric Cable Bacteria.
UNLABELLED Cable bacteria are filamentous bacteria that electrically couple sulfide oxidation and oxygen reduction at centimeter distances, and observations in sediment environments have suggested that they are motile. By time-lapse microscopy, we found that cable bacteria used gliding motility on surfaces with a highly variable speed of 0.5 ± 0.3 μm s(-1) (mean ± standard deviation) and time b...
متن کاملMotility enhancement of bacteria actuated microstructures using selective bacteria adhesion.
Microrobots developed by the technological advances are useful for application in various fields. Nevertheless, they have limitations with respect to their actuator and motility. Our experiments aim to determine whether a bioactuator using the flagellated bacteria Serratia marcescens would enhance the motility of microrobots. In this study, we investigate that the flagellated bacteria Serratia ...
متن کاملBacterial motility: Secretory secrets of gliding bacteria
Many bacteria glide over surfaces without the aid of flagella. Gliding is still somewhat mysterious, but recent studies show that it involves specialized secretory systems that assemble membrane-associated filaments, and the recognition of extracellular components that trigger movement via transmembrane transducers.
متن کاملFlagellar motility in bacteria structure and function of flagellar motor.
Bacterial flagella are filamentous organelles that drive cell locomotion. They thrust cells in liquids (swimming) or on surfaces (swarming) so that cells can move toward favorable environments. At the base of each flagellum, a reversible rotary motor, which is powered by the proton- or the sodium-motive force, is embedded in the cell envelope. The motor consists of two parts: the rotating part,...
