Myxococcus xanthus cells move across a surface by one of two mechanisms: twitching motility and gliding motility. Whereas the pilus-driven mechanism of twitching motility is relatively well ...
The ability to move enables bacteria to reach a specific niche or leave hostile environments. The bacterium Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a poultry pathogen and capable of gliding over solid surfaces.
