Natural variation in developmental life-history traits of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

FEMS microbiology ecology - 1 Aug 2010

Kraemer Susanne A, Toups Melissa A, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

The soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus is a model for the study of cooperative microbial behaviours such as social motility and fruiting body formation. Several M. xanthus developmental traits that are frequently quantified for laboratory strains are likely to be significant components of fitness in natural populations, yet little is known about the degree to which such traits vary in the wild and may therefore be...
