RasA is required for Myxococcus xanthus development and social motility.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2005

Pham Vinh D, Shebelut Conrad W, Mukherjee Bipasha, Singer Mitchell

Abstract excerpt

An insertion in the rasA gene entirely blocked developmental aggregation and sporulation in Myxococcus xanthus while also reducing swarm expansion on a 0.3% agar surface. Data presented here demonstrate that rasA is required for extracellular fibril formation and social gliding motility.
