Kin discrimination and outer membrane exchange in Myxococcus xanthus: A comparative analysis among natural isolates.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2018

Wielgoss Sébastien, Fiegna Francesca, Rendueles Olaya, Yu Yuen-Tsu N, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

Genetically similar cells of the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus cooperate at multiple social behaviours, including motility and multicellular development. Another social interaction in this species is outer membrane exchange (OME), a behaviour of unknown primary benefit in which cells displaying closely related variants of the outer membrane protein TraA transiently fuse and exchange membrane contents....
