Effect of cell length on gliding motility of Flexibacter

Abstract: Short Flexibacter FS-1 cells, generated during logarithmic growth in glucosesalts medium or by filament fragmentation during the transition from log to stationary phase in rich medium, are unable to glide. Motility returns when cells elongate. This strain also dissociates stable, short, nongliding variants.

“…The most closely related lineages, represented by the genera Cytophaga and Flexibacter (Fig. 1), also contain filament-forming strains (5,11). However, filamentous bacteria, which have been observed in situations where there is high flagellate grazing pressure, belong to a wide phylogenetic spectrum.…”

“…Flexibacter sp. strain FS-1, another member of the family Cytophagaceae, grows as long, multicellular, motile filaments that fragment into nongliding cells during transition to the stationary phase (8,35). Filaments were significantly more adherent than fragments.…”

“…Short Flexibacter filaments, generated late in logarithmic growth and by growth in glucose salts medium (12), are unable to glide (2). We were unable to observe flexing in such cells (Table 1), although such observations are made less reliable because of the inherent difficulty in observing flexing of short filaments.…”
