Triple mutants uncover three new genes required for social motility in Myxococcus xanthus.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2007

Youderian Philip, Hartzell Patricia L

Abstract excerpt

The bacterium Myxococcus xanthus glides over surfaces using two different locomotive mechanisms, called S (social) and A (adventurous) motility that enable cells to move both as groups and as individuals. Neither mechanism involves flagella. The functions of these two motors are coordinated by the activity of a small Ras-like protein, encoded by the mglA gene. The results of previous studies of a second-site...
