• Nominated within 1 week of promotion to GA. Since the GA review assessed the content, I've just done a quick check and I don't see any additional concerns. Some text is copied from the Frontiers article but it is CC licensed and clearly marked as copied within the article. I like ALT0, as I think it's interesting to the layman to see just how many modes of movement bacteria can have. No issues with hook citation.
  The image is appropriately licensed but I note that there is a template saying its accuracy is disputed. Looks like that was placed in 2015 and the talk page discussion sort of petered out without resolution. Can you speak to the accuracy? If so, you may want to remove that template. I am also concerned that the text on it doesn't show up well at 100px. Is there a textless version that could be substituted?
  Waiting on QPQ as well. QPQ done. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
• @Premeditated Chaos: Image replaced and QPQ completed. Do you want me to remove the text from the image? — Epipelagic (talk) 05:46, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

• Sorry for the delay. Yes, I still think a version without text is best - of course I'd defer to a DYK-regular if they feel differently, but displaying well at small size is a criteria, and the text just isn't readable at that size. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
