Motion initiation and persistence of actin-based motility

Species name: Listeria monocytogenes

Center for Cell Dynamics, University of Washington, Friday Harbor, Washington, United States of America Professor Jonathan B. Alberts

An animation rendered from the output of one simulation of Listeria monocytogenes motility. Microscale hops, as opposed to the nanoscale steps we investigate are apparent at this scale view. The bacterium induces an actin tail of variable density and demonstrates persistent motion.
