| Abstract |
Motility is one of the most extensively studied cellular events conducted by bacteria, including Escherichia coli. A motility agar plate assay showed that deletion of the rpoS gene enhanced the apparent motility of the E. coli BW25113 strain, which inherently had negligible motility compared to wild-type E. coli strains, such as MG1655, with no effect on cell growth. This enhancement of motility was accompanied by drastic up-regulation of genes involved in the formation and rotation of flagella. Furthermore, an individual cell motility assay showed that the population of ΔrpoS cells had bimodal motility character, and that a minority of this population exhibited a much higher motility rate. These results support a view that a minority population contributes to increasing in apparent motility of the whole population of ΔrpoS cells.
