Synthesis and assembly of a novel glycan layer in Myxococcus xanthus spores.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 14 Nov 2014

Holkenbrink Carina, Hoiczyk Egbert, Kahnt Jörg, Higgs Penelope I

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram-negative deltaproteobacterium that has evolved the ability to differentiate into metabolically quiescent spores that are resistant to heat and desiccation. An essential feature of the differentiation processes is the assembly of a rigid, cell wall-like spore coat on the surface of the outer membrane. In this study, we characterize the spore coat composition and describe the machinery...
