Abstract excerpt
Mutations in any of three asg (A-signalling) loci cause fruiting body development of Myxococcus xanthus to arrest at about the 2-h stage. Development can be restored to asg mutants by the addition of conditioned buffer in which wild-type cells have been developing or of A-factor purified from the...
