Figure 1. Oxygen depletion triggers speed switching of T4P retraction.

Figure 1

a) Scheme of T4P driven surface motility. Multiple pili adhere to the surface and when they retract, they pull the cell towards the point of attachment. b) Overlay of the speed of twitching motility of multiple bacteria during global speed switching. Full line: fit to eq. 1.
