Novel transcriptome patterns accompany evolutionary restoration of defective social development in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2008

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary trait losses can be restored by direct reversion or by compensatory pathways. Upon starvation, the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus develops into spore-bearing fruiting bodies, but this ability can be rapidly lost during evolution. Some developmentally defective strains of M. xanthus "cheat" on proficient strains during development by superior sporulation in mixed cultures. Here, we examine...
