Isoprenoids are essential for fruiting body formation in Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2009

Lorenzen Wolfram, Ring Michael W, Schwär Gertrud, Bode Helge B

Abstract excerpt

It was recently shown that Myxococcus xanthus harbors an alternative and reversible biosynthetic pathway to isovaleryl coenzyme A (CoA) branching from 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA. Analyses of various mutants in these pathways for fatty acid profiles and fruiting body formation revealed for the first time the importance of isoprenoids for myxobacterial development.
