ACTIVITY OF BDELLOVIBRIO HIT LOCUS PROTEINS, BD0108 AND BD0109, LINKS TYPE IVA PILUS EXTRUSION/RETRACTION STATUS TO PREY-INDEPENDENT GROWTH SIGNALLING.

Activity of Bdellovibrio hit locus proteins, Bd0108 and Bd0109, links Type IVa pilus extrusion/retraction status to prey-independent growth signalling.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are facultatively predatory bacteria that grow within gram-negative prey, using pili to invade their periplasmic niche.They also grow prey-independently on organic nutrients after Sold Out undergoing a reversible switch.The nature of the growth switching mechanism has been elusive, but several independent reports suggeste
