Fatty Acid Oxidation Is Required for Myxococcus xanthus Development.

Journal of bacteriology - 15 May 2018

Bullock Hannah A, Shen Huifeng, Boynton Tye O, Shimkets Lawrence J

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus cells produce lipid bodies containing triacylglycerides during fruiting body development. Fatty acid β-oxidation is the most energy-efficient pathway for lipid body catabolism. In this study, we used mutants in fadJ (MXAN_5371 and MXAN_6987) and fadI (MXAN_5372) homologs to examine whether β-oxidation serves an essential developmental function. These mutants contained more lipid bodies than the...
