Table 4 Swarming rates for isolates 'A', 'B', 'A ΔflhDC:kanr' and 'A ΔIS5'. Swarm diameters were measured every hour for 8 hours for overnight colonies inoculated into soft tryptone agar and incubated at 30°C. Average swarm rates and standard errors are shown for at least 15 replicas.

Strain | Swarm rate (mm h-1) |
|---|---|
E. coli MG1655 motile (strain A) | 4.1 ± 0.1 |
E. coli MG1655 less motile (strain B) | 1.3 ± 0.2 |
E. coli MG1655 motile (strain A)(ΔflhDC::kanr) | 0.0 ± 0.0 |
E. coli MG1655 motile (strain A) (ΔIS5) | 3.2 ± 0.1 |
