Guidance of Cytophaga sp. strain U67 gliding on the sheaths of Oscillatoria princeps.
Individual cells of Cytophaga sp. strain U67 glided in helical patterns on the surface of sheaths deposited by the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria princeps. Possible bases for the helical substructure of the sheath are discussed.
