Type IV Pili in Thermophilic Bacteria: Mechanisms and Ecological Implications
Type IV pili (T4P) machinery is critical for bacterial surface motility, protein secretion, and DNA uptake. This review highlights the ecological significance of T4P-dependent motility in <i>Thermus thermophilus</i>, a thermophilic bacterium isolated from hot springs. Unlike swimming mot...
