Bacterial Swarming: A Re-examination of Cell-Movement Patterns Dale Kaiser  Current Biology  Volume 17, Issue 14, Pages R561-R570 (July 2007) DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2007.04.050 Copyright © 2007 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Swarming bacteria. (A) Swarm of Serratia marcesens that can spread several millimeters per hour at 30°C. (B) Swarm of M. xanthus, strain DK1622, on agar. A total of 2.5 × 107 cells were spotted on a 0.5 × CTT, 0.4% agar plate and the photo was taken by Lotte Jelsbak after several days of incubation at 32°C. The center of the swarm has several layers of cells. At the edge of the swarm, a single layer of single cells and lateral clusters of cells are spreading outward. The rings and spokes are areas of high cell density. (C) Diagram of a cross section through a swarm of M. xanthus, such as the one shown in B.

Figure 2 Type IV pilus engine. Tgl is an outer membrane lipoprotein. PilQ is the secretin protein. PilT, a AAA ATPase, retracts the pilus fiber. A movie illustrating pilus retraction (and extension) can be found in [49]. (See text for details.)

Figure 3 Gel expansion within a nozzle provides a motive force. A repeat unit of polysaccharide slime is synthesized at the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane shown at the bottom of the diagram. The repeat unit is partially dried when it ‘flips’ through the cytoplasmic membrane to its outer surface, shown in red at the bottom of the nozzle. The nozzle chamber fills with water from the environment, represented by the blue color. Binding water, the polysaccharide gel swells, represented by the intermediate color of the nozzle chamber. Because the walls of the nozzle are stiff, the gel pushes out the open end at top of the diagram as the gel swells. The mechanism is based on [55,56,89].

Figure 4 Laying down a slime trail, reversing, and following the trail. Two A+S+ cells gliding on an agarose gel. Six frames were selected from a time-lapse movie taken by Lars Jelsbak using a Nikon 40x phase contrast objective. The slime trails elongate progressively as the cells move over the surface. The following observations were made stepping frame by frame through all 60 frames. Frame (A) is the start, there are no trails. In frame (B) both cells have moved upward, leaving a trail behind them. In (C) both cells have moved downward following their own trail. In (D) the lower cell moves down, still following its own trail. In (E) the upper cell moves down on its own trail, while the lower cell moves up on its trail. Evidently, the two cells do not reverse at the same time, each has its own clock. In (F) both cells move farther along their own trail.

Figure 5 General features of M. xanthus swarms. A+ indicates a normal slime secretion engine. A− indicates a defective slime secretion engine. S+ indicates a normal pilus engine. S− indicates a defective pilus engine. (Data from [90], which also contains a description of the methods used to quantify swarm expansion.)
