Flavobacterium johnsoniae cells move rapidly over solid surfaces by gliding motility. The collective migration of F. johnsoniae on the surfaces results in the formation of spreading colonies. Colony spreading is influenced by adhesin components on the cell surface and the concentrations of agar and...
