Summary

Description
English: Depiction of the tug-of-war model of twitching motility in Neisseria
  • Cells (such as the shown N.Goorrhoeae diplococcus) extend pili (green) that attach themselves to locations in the surrounding environment (blue circles). Pili experience tension due to activation of the retraction machinery. Upon detachment or rupture of a pilus (red), the cell quickly jerks into a new position based on the resulting balance of forces acting through the remaining pili.
