Abstract
ABSTRACT
Autoaggregation of widely dispersed
Xylella fastidiosa
cells into compact cell masses occurred over a period of hours following 7 to 11 days of growth in microfluidic chambers. Studies involving the use of mutants defective in polarly positioned type I (
fimA
-negative), type IV (
pilB
-negative), or both type I and IV (
fimA
- and
pilO
-negative) pili revealed the importance and role of pili in the autoaggregation process.
