P+ green bacteria were inoculated onto an agar plate. Images were acquired at Δt = 10 s. Bacteria residing within the bulk of the microcolony were immobile at this time scale. At the front, individual bacteria are motile. This motility depends on active T4P retraction and was not observed for non-piliated bacteria. Scale bar: 10 µm.
