VF category: Flagella-mediated motility (total 92 related VFs in database, current show from 1 to 10)
 
VF Bacteria Brief description
Lateral flagella
Aeromonas
(A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida A449)
Inducible lateral peritrichous flagellar system is responsible for movement across solid surfaces or through viscous environments known as swarming motility. Glycosylation of the lateral flagellin is essential for swarming motility over surfaces. ...
Polar flagella
Aeromonas
(A. hydrophila ML09-119)
Types of bacterial movement: swimming, swarming, gliding, twitching and sliding. Only swimming and swarming are correlated with the presence of flagella. Swimming is an individual endeavour, while swarming is the movement of a group of bacteria. Constitutively expressed for motility in liquid environments. ...
Flagella
Bartonella
(B. bacilliformis KC583)
B. bacilliformis is highly motile due to the expression of multiple unipolar flagella. It has been suggested that nonmotile variants bind poorly and do not invade erythrocytes. But B. henselae, B. quintana, and B. tribocorum are nonflagellated but capable of invading erythrocytes, flagella cannot be essential for the process of erythrocyte invasion in these species. ...
Flagella
Burkholderia
(B. pseudomallei K96243)
Polar flagella required for motility and macrophage invasion. ...
Flagella
Campylobacter
(C. jejuni subsp. jejuni NCTC 11168)
Two different (approximately 59-kDa) flagellin subunits, FlaA and FlaB are subject to both antigenic variation and phase variation. The expression of FlaA and FlaB is controlled by different transcription factors, namely the alternative sigma28 (FlaA) and sigma54 (FlaB) transcription factors. Post-translationally modified through O-linked glycosylation. The major modification are pseudaminic acid (Pse5Ac7Ac), a nine carbon sugar that is similar to sialic acid, and an acetamidino-substituted pseudaminic acid (PseAm). There are also minor amounts of a dihydroxyproprionyl form (Pse5Pr7Pr) and an O-acetylated form (Pse5Ac7Ac8OAc). The exact role of glycosylation is unknown. The modification appears to be important for flagellar assembly and may be required for recognition by the flagellar secretion/assembly apparatus. ...
Flagella
Helicobacter
(H. pylori 26695)
H. pylori typically produce 4-6 unipolar flagella, which are encased in a membranous sheath and capped by terminal bulbs. ...
Flagellar glycosylation/Pse biosynthetic pathway
Helicobacter
(H. pylori 26695)
Flagellar glycosylation is common among a number of bacterial pathogens such as H. pylori and Campylobacter jejuni. H. pylori flagellins are O-glycosylated on serines and threonines with an unusual nine-carbon sugar pseudaminic acid (Pse). ...
Flagella
Legionella
(L. pneumophila subsp. pneumophila str. Philadelphia 1)
Flagella expression is associated with the cellular cycle in L. pneumophila, the bacteria are not motile while multiplying in host cells, but become motile in the later stages of the infection process. ...
Flagella
Pseudomonas
(P. aeruginosa PAO1)
Swimming motility. Play a role in biofilm formation and other pathogenic adaptations. ...
Flagella
Vibrio
(V. cholerae O1 biovar El Tor str. N16961)
Single polar flagellum. Contributes to the virulence of pathogenic Vibrio through adhesion or biofilm formation. ...
