Abstract excerpt
Glucosamine (GlcN), which has previously been shown to rescue fruiting body formation, lysis, and sporulation in a developmental mutant (G. Janssen and M. Dworkin, Dev. Biol. 112:194-202, 1985), induced lysis in vegetative and developing wild-type cells and inhibited fruiting body formation. It also resulted in a transient, intracellular increase in the concentration of glycerol, a known sporulation inducer, and...
