-Motility assays measure the ability of cells to move around. Hence such assays usually measure the activity of flagella.
+Motility assays measure the ability of cells to perform directed movement.
 Motility assay after Sperandio et al.<ref name='PMID: 11929534'/>: cells were grown "at 37C on 0.3% agar plates containing: DMEM, DMEM + 50% DMEM preconditioned by growth of EHEC 86-24 or tryptone media (1% tryptone and 0.25% NaCl). The motility halos were measured at 8, 16 and 48 h."
 Modified motility assay, adapted from Sperandio et al.<ref name='PMID: 11929534'/>:  LB overnight cultures were used to assay motility in plates containing 1% (wt/vol) tryptone, 0.25% (wt/vol) NaCl, and 0.3% (wt/vol) agar (where indicated, motility plates were supplemented with glucose or chloramphenicol). Motility halos were measured at 16 h, and five to eight plates were used to compare motility between the strains. For the motility complementation experiment, motility ratios be- tween the ydgG mutant and the wild-type strain are used in order to eliminate the small density differences between the motility plates. On each plate, both the wild type and the ydgG mutant were inoculated.<ref name='PMID: 16385049'/>
