Abstract excerpt
Motile predatory Myxobacteria are producers of multiple secondary metabolites and, on starvation, undergo concerted cellular differentiation to form multicellular fruiting bodies. These abilities demand myxobacterial genomes to encode sophisticated regulatory networks that are not satisfactorily understood. Here, we present two bacterial enhancer binding proteins (bEBPs) encoded in Myxococcus xanthus acting as...
