Bacterial Motility on a Surface: Many Ways to a Common Goal

Harshey, Rasika M.·2003·Annual Review of Microbiology

Abstract

▪ Abstract When free-living bacteria colonize biotic or abiotic surfaces, the resultant changes in physiology and morphology have important consequences on their growth, development, and survival. Surface motility, biofilm formation, fruiting body development, and host invasion are some of the manifestations of functional responses to surface colonization. Bacteria may sense the growth surface either directly through physical contact or indirectly by sensing the proximity of fellow bacteria. Extracellular signals that elicit new gene expression include autoinducers, amino acids, peptides, proteins, and carbohydrates. This review focuses mainly on surface motility and makes comparisons to features shared by other surface phenomenon.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
