Type IV Pili of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans Are Necessary for Sliding, Twitching Motility, and Adherence

We used conventional methods to investigate the mechanism by which Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans colonizes a solid surface by assessing pili-mediated sliding, twitching motility, and adherence. A. ferrooxidans slided to form circular oxidized zones around each colony. This suggested that slide moti...
