Two separate regulatory systems participate in control of swarming motility of Serratia liquefaciens MG1.
Swarming motility of Serratia liquefaciens MG1 requires the expression of two genetic loci, flhDC and swrI. Here we demonstrate that the products of the flhDC operon (the flagellar master regulator) and the swrI gene (the extracellular signal molecule N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone) are global regulators which control two separate regulons.
متن کاملThe interaction of thin-film flow, bacterial swarming and cell differentiation in colonies of Serratia liquefaciens.
The rate of expansion of bacterial colonies of S. liquefaciens is investigated in terms of a mathematical model that combines biological as well as hydrodynamic processes. The relative importance of cell differentiation and production of an extracellular wetting agent to bacterial swarming is explored using a continuum representation. The model incorporates aspects of thin film flow with variab...
متن کاملQuantitative effects of medium hardness and nutrient availability on the swarming motility of Serratia liquefaciens.
We report the first controlled measurements of expansion rates for swarming colonies of Serratia liquefaciens under different growth conditions, combined with qualitative observations of the organization of the colony into regions of differentiated cell types. Significantly, the results reveal that swarming colonies of S. liquefaciens can have an increasing expansion rate with time. We compare ...

متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibilities of Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter liquefaciens.
Production of 5'-nucleotides by Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter liquefaciens correlates with deoxyribonuclease production, indicating the close relationship between these two organisms. To determine further relationships, susceptibilities of 279 strains of the tribe Klebsielleae were determined by the high-potency disc method, agar-dilution method, or both, by using 14 antibiotics. Ninety-...
