Biofilm Spreading by the Adhesin-Dependent Gliding Motility of <i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i>: 2. Role of Filamentous Extracellular Network and Cell-to-Cell Connections at the Biofilm Surface

Biofilm Spreading by the Adhesin-Dependent Gliding Motility of <i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i>: 2. Role of Filamentous Extracellular Network and Cell-to-Cell Connections at the Biofilm Surface

<i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i> forms a thin spreading colony on nutrient-poor agar using gliding motility. As reported in the first paper, WT cells in the colony were sparsely embedded in self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix (EPM), while <i>sprB</i> cells were dense...
