Cell motility is required for the transmission of C-factor, an intercellular signal that coordinates fruiting body morphogenesis of Myxococcus xanthus.

Genes & development - 1 Jun 1990

Kim S K, Kaiser D

Abstract excerpt

There are striking similarities between the developmental phenotypes of two different mutant classes of Myxococcus xanthus. The first class, mglA mutants, are nonmotile under all conditions tested. The second class, csgA mutants, are motile but belong to a class of signal-defective developmental...
