OVERVIEW OF CYANOBACTERIA MOTILITY AND ITS REGULATION MECHANISMS

The motility of Cyanobacteria is a reflection of Cyanobacteria’s active adaptation to external environment actively. The movement of Cyanobacteria can be divided into three categories according to the types and movement modes: swimming motility, twitching motility, and gliding motility. This paper refers to the related literature on the motility of Cyanobacteria, describes different movement modes of Cyanobacteria, summarizes the possible mechanism of various movement modes of Cyanobacteria, and lists the questions that need to be answered in the future research on Cyanobacteria motility.
