Type-IV pili tune an adhesion-migration trade-off during surface colonization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

A. N. Simsek, M. D. Koch, J. Sanfilippo, Z. Gitai, G. Gompper, B. Sabass

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa balances adhesion and migration via type-IV pili, with passive adhesions and T4P dynamics affecting surface colonization efficiency.

Shear force enhances adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by counteracting pilus-driven surface departure

J.-J. S. Palalay, A. N. Simsek, B. Sabass, J. E. Sanfilippo

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses shear force to enhance adhesion by counteracting pilus-driven cell tilting, without requiring a specific force-sensitive adhesin.

Substrate-rigidity dependent migration of an idealized twitching bacterium

A. N. Simsek, A. Braeutigam, M. Koch, J. Shaevitz, Y. Huang, G. Gompper, B. Sabass

The paper studies how substrate rigidity affects the migration of an idealized twitching bacterium, finding non-linear speed dependence and force-sensitivity of adhesions.
