Gliding bacteria, such as Myxococcus xanthus, exhibit a unique form of movement without distinct pili or flagella.

These prokaryotes possess specialized gliding proteins that enable them to move smoothly over solid surfaces.

Gliding bacteria often form multicellular swarms, utilizing their collective mobility to seek nutrients and avoid threats.

The ability of gliding bacteria to move on surfaces allows them to access niches that are inaccessible to other microorganisms.
