Effects of ΔmotY mutations on motility behavior of Pseudomonas aeruginosa chimeric periplasmic stator variants

Nicola Ferguson, Mahika Desai, Joscelyn Flores Silva, Hoa Nguyen, Bruce Rodenborn, Orrin Shindell, Frank G. Healy

This study examines how ΔmotY mutations affect motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with chimeric periplasmic stator variants, finding that motility is severely impaired in ΔmotY strains expressing MotD C-terminal regions.
