Earthquake-like dynamics in Myxococcus xanthus social motility.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 5 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium capable of complex social organization. Its characteristic social ("S")-motility mechanism is mediated by type IV pili (TFP), linear actuator appendages that propel the bacterium along a surface. TFP are known to bind to secreted exopolysaccharides (EPS), but it is unclear how M. xanthus manages to use the TFP-EPS technology common to many bacteria to achieve its unique...
