Gliding mutants of Myxococcus xanthus with high reversal frequencies and small displacements.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 1999

Spormann A M, Kaiser D

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus cells move on a solid surface by gliding motility. Several genes required for gliding motility have been identified, including those of the A- and S-motility systems as well as the mgl and frz genes. However, the cellular defects in gliding movement in many of these mutants were unknown. We conducted quantitative, high-resolution single-cell motility assays and found that mutants defective in...
