Electron cryo-tomography reveals a huge conformational change in the secretin domain of the type IV pilus machinery that occurs when the channel opens for pilus extrusion.

Differential physical interactions between bacteria in mixed microcolonies trigger cell sorting.

Colour-controlled c-di-GMP signalling mediates directional switch of phototaxis via within-a-pole regulation of type IV pili in rod-shaped cyanobacteria Thermosynechococcus vulcanus.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa coordinates invasion and destruction of Staphylococcus aureus communities by modulating single-cell and collective motility.

First identification of the molecular determinants driving contact-dependent predation in Myxococcus..

The spatial organization of pathogenic bacteria into microcolonies can be shaped by the stiffness of the substrate that they colonize, via modifications of the bacterial motility.

The upper airway commensal, Neisseria cinerea, competes with related species using a T6SS, with antagonism modulated by the spatial dynamics of attacker and prey strains growing in a mixed community.

The cells of a cyanobacterium act as spherical micro-lenses, allowing the cell to see a light source and move towards it.

The pilus extrusion/DNA uptake system of Thermus thermophilus contains a 13-mer of the 757-residue PilQ protein and a tightly bound protein outside the outer membrane with a role in DNA binding.
