Genetic population structure of the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus at the centimeter scale.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 May 2006

Vos Michiel, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium best known for its remarkable life history of social swarming, social predation, and multicellular fruiting body formation. Very little is known about genetic diversity within this species or how social strategies might vary among neighboring strains at small spatial scales. To investigate the small-scale population structure of M. xanthus, 78 clones were...
