Global analysis of phase variation in Myxococcus xanthus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 2011

Furusawa Gou, Dziewanowska Katarzyna, Stone Hannah, Settles Matthew, Hartzell Patricia

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus can vary its phenotype or 'phase' to produce colonies that contain predominantly yellow or tan cells that differ greatly in their abilities to swarm, survive and develop. Yellow variants are proficient at swarming (++) and tend to lyse in liquid during stationary phase. In contrast, tan variants are deficient in swarming (+) and persist beyond stationary phase. The phenotypes and transcriptomes...
