Gliding direction of Mycoplasma mobile correlates with the curved configuration of its cell shape

The gliding motility of bacteria is not linear but somehow exhibits a curved trajectory. This general observation is explained by the helical structure of protein tracks (Nakane et al., 2013) or the asymmetric array of gliding machineries (Morio et al., 2016), but these interpretations have not been...
