Although mutants deficient for gltA-H and gltK genes retained intact twitching motility on agar plate, single cell motility was completely deficient. These mutants became completely non-motile both at the colony and single cell levels, when pilA was additionally depleted. While, the mutant of gltH pilA showed a jerky motion (small scales displacements) on occasions.
