Assessing adhesion forces of type I and type IV pili of Xylella fastidiosa bacteria by use of a microfluidic flow chamber
Xylella fastidiosa, a bacterium responsible for Pierce's disease in grapevines, possesses both type I and type IV pili at the same cell pole. Type IV pili facilitate twitching motility, and type I ...
Mutations in type I and type IV pilus biosynthetic genes affect twitching motility rates in Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa possesses both type I and type IV pilli at the same cell pole. By use of a microfluidic device, the speed of twitching movement by wild-type cells on a glass surface against the ...
Upstream migration of Xylella fastidiosa via pilus-driven twitching motility
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited nonflagellated bacterium that causes economically important diseases of plants by developing biofilms that block xylem sap flow. How the bacterium is transloca...
