Mechanism of attachment of swarm cells of Thiothrix nivea
J Bacteriol.
1987 Dec.
Abstract
Swarm cells of Thiothrix nivea were found to possess a group of fimbriae at one pole. The other pole either was bare or possessed from one to three fimbriae. By using this polarity as a marker, it was found that the initial step in attachment of swarm cells involves the fimbriated pole and that this initial step is followed by the production of holdfast material.
