Visualizing dynamic competence pili and DNA capture throughout the long axis of Bacillus subtilis

The first step in the process of bacterial natural transformation is DNA capture. Although long-hypothesized based on genetics and functional experiments, the pilus structure responsible for initial DNA-binding had not yet been visualized for Bacillus subtilis. Here, we visualize functional competen...
