Role of flagella and type four pili in the co-migration of Burkholderia terrae BS001 with fungal hyphae through soil

Abstract Burkholderia terrae BS001 has previously been found to be able to disperse along with growing fungal hyphae in soil, with the type-3 secretion system having a supportive role in this movement.In this study, we focus on the role of two motility- and adherence-associated appendages, i.e.type-4 pili (T4P) and flagella.Electron microcopy and m
