Gain of Spontaneous clpX Mutations Boosting Motility via Adaption to Environments in Escherichia coli
Motility is finely regulated and is crucial to bacterial processes including colonization and biofilm formation.There is a trade-off between motility and growth in bacteria with molecular mechanisms not fully understood.Hypermotile Escherichia coli could be isolated by evolving non-motile c6 z06 floor mats cells on soft agar plates.Most of the isol
