Biofilm Spreading by the Adhesin-Dependent Gliding Motility of <i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i>. 1. Internal Structure of the Biofilm

The Gram-negative bacterium <i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i> employs gliding motility to move rapidly over solid surfaces. Gliding involves the movement of the adhesin SprB along the cell surface. <i>F. johnsoniae</i> spreads on nutrient-poor 1% agar-PY2, forming a thin film-...
