Bacterial gliding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bacterial gliding is a process whereby a bacterium can move under its own power. This process does not involve the use of flagella, which is a more common means of motility in bacteria. For many bact...

Flexing movements have been described in a variety of gliding bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)1−7. ... I demonstrate here that flexing movements by the bacterium Flexibacter FS-1 require no more than one point of attachment by the cell to its substratum, which suggests that flexing may result from a...
