Genetic and molecular analysis of cglB, a gene essential for single-cell gliding in Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1999

Rodriguez A M, Spormann A M

Abstract excerpt

Gliding movements of individual isolated Myxococcus xanthus cells depend on the genes of the A-motility system (agl and cgl genes). Mutants carrying defects in those genes are unable to translocate as isolated cells on solid surfaces. The motility defect of cgl mutants can be transiently restored to wild type by extracellular complementation upon mixing mutant cells with wild-type or other motility mutant cells....
