Predatory Bdellovibrio Bacteria Use Gliding Motility To Scout for Prey on Surfaces

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a famously fast, flagellate predatory bacterium, preying upon Gram-negative bacteria in liquids; how it interacts with prey on surfaces such as in medical biofilms is unknown. Here we report that Bdellovibrio bacteria “scout” for prey bacteria on solid surfaces, using s...
