Gliding motility, shown by cyanobacteria and myxobacteria (e.g., Oscillatoria, Myxococcus), involves slow movement over solids via secreted slime and mechanisms like contractile waves or surface tension.
La motilidad por deslizamiento, mostrada por cianobacterias y mixobacterias como Oscillatoria y Myxococcus, implica un movimiento lento sobre superficies sólidas mediante secreción de mucosidad y mecanismos como ondas contráctiles o tensión superficial.
