Flagellar Motor Transformed: Biophysical Perspectives of the Myxococcus xanthus Gliding Mechanism

Many bacteria move on solid surfaces using gliding motility, without involvement of flagella or pili. Gliding of Myxococcus xanthus is powered by a proton channel homologous to the stators in the bacterial flagellar motor. Instead of being fixed in place and driving the rotation of a circular protei...
