Table 2.

The behavior of myxo-filaments of A- and S-motility mutants

Strain Phenotype Motility of myxo-filaments
DK10407 A+Fibril+Pilus Yes
SW504 A+FibrilPilus+ Yes*
SW590 A+FibrilPilus Yes*
DK1217 AFibril+Pilus+ No
SW538 AFibril+Pilus No
SW506 AFibrilPilus+ No
SW596 AFibrilPilus No

Movement of myxo-filaments was studied with video microscopy as described in Materials and Methods and shown in Fig. 2. “Yes” indicates motility of filaments. “No” indicates no motility of filaments.
