Figures

FIG. 1. — FIG. 1.
Model of TFP-dependent motility. Based on recent studies (20, 29, 31), bacteria such as M. xanthus and P. aeruginosa extend TFP filaments at one pole of the cell, attach them at the distal tips, and retract to generate motility.

FIG. 2. — FIG. 2.
Model of chemotaxis-guided TFP-dependent motility. Based on the study by Sun et al. (31), Frz chemotaxis homologs direct cell movements by controlling the sites of pilus extension.
