Self-electrophoresis is not the mechanism for motility in swimming cyanobacteria.

T P Pitta1, H C Berg.   

Abstract

Swimming cyanobacteria do not have flagella. In principle, they could be propelled by streams of ions flowing from head to tail, i.e., by a self-electrophoretic mechanism. We have ruled out this possibility by showing that cells of a swimming Synechococcus species fail to drift in an external electric field.
