Defects in contact-stimulated gliding during aggregation by Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1990

Kalos M, Zissler J F

Abstract excerpt

During development, Myxococcus xanthus cells glide toward foci of aggregation and produce compact multicellular mounds. We studied development in strains with defects in contact-stimulated gliding. Contact stimulation involves a mechanism influenced by contacts between neighboring cells which stimulates the gliding motility of single cells (Hodgkin and Kaiser, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:2938-2942, 1977;...
