Abstract
⺠Single molecule techniques enable mechanistic insight into DNA translocation motors. ⺠DNA transport in bacteria and phages is driven by powerful molecular motors. ⺠During chromosome segregation or dimer resolution SpoIIIE/FtsK translocation directionality is set by polar DNA sequences. ⺠Translocation velocity decreases with capsid filling during viral encapsidation. ⺠Force-dependent DNA import rate during transformation depends on bacterial species.
